27 lbs down and STRUGGLING!

Aug 24, 2009

Ahh, I am starting to struggle these last couple of days. I feel hungry, not tummy rumbling, but my stomach is not happy with me.  I'm not getting all my protein in, I'm short about 20 grams or so a day.  I saw my doc today for my 2 week post-op and he wasn't happy with me either about my protein.  It's soo hard to get it all in and I'm really trying.  I need to keep trying harder.  My incisions are looking good, one of the scabs pulled of one on the way there and ruined my shirt with the drainage from one (EWWW!!) and I got a little bandaid to put on it. 

All, I can think about is FOOD, FOOD, FOOD! I want a damn burrito, or taco, or hamburger, I want something substantial to feel full!  I think part of it is that I'm anxious about starting the next food phase which I get to start on Thursday. I want something delicious in my tummy instead of Isopure Dutch Chocolate shake and Isopure Alpine Punch. I want to add milk and other yummilicious stuff to my shake, but I can't yet.  I know it's only a few days to the full liquids stage, but I didn't think it would hit me this hard.  SIGH!

The good thing is that I'm all cleared for normal activities, excercise, swimming, sex ;)  I just don't have a lot of energy for any of those right now.  I think I'm just in this funk that I need to crawl out of!

Anyhoo, that's me for today ...hopefully in a few days, I'll be smiling when I can have some cream soups and cream of wheat!
