20 lbs down, 87 to go!

Jun 30, 2009

I can't believe I'm down 20 lbs already! Although not eating will do that to ya I guess... :D I'm still on liquid diet of course, which after surgery isn't that bad. I am craving some real food, even though its just for the desire to eat and not hunger. I snuck a chip in today, munched it slow and very little bites. No problem. Though I know I'm at least staying on liquids for 2 more days then moving up a little to some very mushy food. My Dr. recommended that I wait 3 weeks before moving from liquids... 3 weeks!?!? Forget that.

In the manual we received about how and what to eat after the surgery, it even said there that mushies start 1 week after, they only recently changed it to 3. Bah... If I can't eat, or have problems, that's one thing... I'm not "not" gonna eat just because they've had some people getting stuck too much or lose their control or whatever caused them to change it. I know just by how much I'm eating now, that I am going to be eating very very little. I really think 1/2 cup will be making me feel stuffed. And I'm sure that's how it's supposed to be.

That's still 2 days away, so no sense worrying about it now. I'm going to do some research to see what experiences others have had, how long they waited, what they enjoyed, etc. Then I can customize my menu from there. I'm just ellated getting 20 lbs off!!!

By the way, thank you so much for the words of encouragement everyone. It just makes everyday that much better!
