2/19/10

3 days post op and I just had my first cry. I looked at all the vitamins, protein meds, etc and became very overwhelmed. I called a friend and she told me to  take a deep breath and that it would be okay. I wasn’t regretting the surgery, I just want to make sure that I would be successful by completing what I was suppose to do. I have to actually say that I am not hungry and it’s very hard to get 101grams of protein in plus 64 oz of water,  but I sipped, sipped, all day and took most of my supplements.  What I find most interested is how my life has been centered around food. When I came back from the hospital (2/18/10) and some friends came to visit, most of the conversation was about food and then.  Then tonight a friend of mine had a spa party and I told her I would support her and come and my goodness over 50%  of the people knew I had the surgery and they just ate and ate and ate. I don’t want them to tiptoe around me, but  again, how much my life is is centered around food.  Again I wasn’t hungry but just looking at most of the food, salsa, bean dip, tortilla chips, cake, pecan pie, brownies & sweet tea that I will not consume anymore.  This is really a mind thing and my prayer is that God will help sustain me through the challenging days
