A Little Hit or Miss

May 05, 2013

So I started eating yesterday.  While I hadn't had solid foods in three weeks, I wasn't really missing it.  This surgery has completely killed my appetite.  I'm never hungry.  It's gotten to the point where I need to remind myself to eat.  Case in point, it's 7:15pm and I haven't had dinner yet.

Still, after a V-8 breakfast (I had somewhere I needed to be yesterday and didn't trust eating something and then running out the door), I made myself a scrambled egg with parmesan cheese sprinkled in it.  I took it slow and did just fine with it.  Success!

Then for dinner I made ground chicken that I pureed in the blender with some homemade broth.  Um...not so good.  It stayed down, but man, my belly was not happy.  I felt it all night and into the morning.

So I took it easy today.  Had some cottage cheese for breakfast.  Thumbs up!  For lunch I made oatmeal I'd crushed first in the food processor before cooking it.  Ick.  I wound up with that heavy, bloated, nauseous feeling again.  I had to lie down for an hour.

I think I'll have another egg for dinner.
