8days post op

the easiest part was having surgery, but now the hard part starts. when i came home from the hospital the following day i was told to continue liquid diet until further notice. lets just say that that didn't last. that liquid diet only lasted a few days. my stomach was hurting cuz i was hungry and i didn't no what to do. i know i wasn't suppose to eat mushy foods yet but i made some homemade mash potatoes. i boiled some potatoes, peeled them, mixed it with some low fat buttermilk and seasoning...they were good. i have been eating them since Friday. i also would eat yogurt during the day cuz every few hours i was hungry. i have been drinking water all day everyday. I'm not sure if i need a fill or not becuz i feel a lot of restriction. i can only eat 4oz at a time. so honestly i have been eating about 4 times a day with water in between.I've been pretty much experimenting or seeing what i can tolerate becuz come a month out i will be planning my meals and starting my exercise routine.
so far i have tolerated Yoplait light yogurt, fat free string cheese, homemade mash potatoes without butter, skim milk, sugar free jello, diet iced tea, applesauce natural, and I'm going to try boiling some yams.
i am still working on this mind thang when it comes to food. its hard to change my eating habits that i have been used to for the past 31yrs. i can be sitting here full but my mind will be like...oh... look at that ice cream! gone get cha some. u always have room for dessert. HELLO!!!!!!!! my stomach can only hold 4oz of food at a time. mind tricks are a B*TCH!
i haven't had any problems with nausea or vomiting. i just had some gas and hunger pains but i took care of that...Lol
today i went to trader Joe's and bought some DESIGNER WHEY french vanilla so i can start making protein shakes in the morning. if anyone has any tips, concerns or advice please feel free to hit me up.
by the way...i can already start to see my body slim down. i used to wear a bra extender and now i don't need it anymore. i just took it off today.
this has been a long week...
