And other misc. musings two weeks post-op from VSG...

I can't believe two weeks have come and gone. I had my follow-up with my surgeon and nut/dietician. They were really happy w/ my progress and I got to graduate to the puréed diet stage. Thank the Lord!! I really didn't realize how sick I'd be of liquids only after 2 weeks (weird but the full liquids actually stained my tongue a weird shade and left me wondering, is this normal?).  I'm so thankful for unflavored protein powder and fresh soups. I just can't really do more than one protein shake a day -- so soups w/ unflavored protein & sugar free Popsicles & water were my go-to's. 

I had a few freak out in my head moments after I was released from the hospital. The off and on bouts of nausea and gagging (never actually threw up) was messing with my head and making me feel overwhelmed but about 6 days post-surgery that subsided and my mind settled down as well.  

Tomorrow I'm heading back to work and I'm not gonna lie, I'm a bit anxious heading back, but I've gotten two weeks behind me and about 16lbs down since surgery (wha?! Even reading others post on here, I don't think I truly comprehended the scale change so quickly) -- time is flying..
