Week 2'ish

May 05, 2009

I'm down 13.4 lbs of this morning!  My switch to fulls has gone well.  I've found that if get off schedule and then eat something, I get nauseous.  If I don't, I'm fine.

Yesterday was my first day of real, my-stomach-is-growling hunger.  I took that as a good sign that my stomach is almost healed.  I went ahead and ate some cottage cheese last night, chewing it well.  It went down well and I've had more energy today than I've had since the surgery.  Not sure if related or coincidence, but I ate cottage cheese for dinner tonight too just to be sure.  I also took a normal vitamin today without problems (I've given up on the Bariatric Advantage chewables).  I go to mushie food on Mother's Day (I guess it will be my gift :)).

I have to admit to a bit of worry.  Since I have experienced real hunger yesterday and today, I don't feel satisfied when I eat.  I'm worried that this isn't going to work.  I just tell myself to take a deep breath and know that there is  no way it cannot not work.

Oh and before I forget, thanks to the boards, I found a powdered protein that is truly tasteless - IsoNatural by Allmax.  I add it to my soups for extra protein and really can't taste it.  I've heard people bake with it, make pancakes, etc.  My husband put it in Crystal Light and said it was okay.  I'm not willing to go that far, but it is good in food.  Two thumbs up !
