Today for the first time since surgery I am starting to notice that the pain is lessening. When I woke up I could stand straight up and not hunch over. I did not wake in the middle of the night due to pain and the need to take pain medicine. Yeah!!! Now I feel like I concentrate on following the program as opposed to licking my wounds. Don't get me wrong I am still hurting when I turn or lie on my side or try to bend over. The liquid diet has been pretty hard on me. My stomach is constantly and loudly growling. I am not necessarily hungry but I desperately want something of substance in my mouth. I am not craving cookies or anything bad like that but more like crunchy vegetables or meat. - Weird. Anyhow I have to admit that last night about 2 am I cheated. I had 1 oz. of cheddar cheese. I know - way wrong, but I rationalize that if I chew it really good with lots of saliva its actually a liquid! Ha - no no I know its not and it was bad. egg day is Sunday and I will hold out for it from here on out. woot woot egg day!!.
