omg the weight is melting off

May 02, 2010

i have lost almost 16 pounds since i was weighed in pre-op before my surgery a week and a half ago. that is nuts. i am getting used to the diet. i have found some yummy snacks to keep me sated. like greek yogurt with torani toffee flavored sugar free syrup. i also loooove cottage cheese and scrambled eggs and slushies. it's funny how these normal things that normally wouldn't matter that much to me, taste soo delicious now. i am sick of puddings and jello. i am craving salt and savory foods. i am going to try and eat some mashed potatoes this week. my doctor is shocked at how well i am doing. i am able to tolerate everything i have tried to eat so far with no nausea or vomiting. *knock on wood* my surgeon can't believe it's only been a week and a half since he did my surgery. i am not even on a liquid diet anymore. i am going to try oatmeal and grits this week. the only thing is that i haven't been drinking protein shakes because i can only eat 2 or 3 ounces two or three times a day and i'd much rather eat something delicious than drink a a few ounces of a shake. it's funny that i can't even eat 1 whole egg before i am stuffed. i guess my new belly is as big as an egg. my scar is huge and very itchy, but healing nicely. dr hoddinott did a great job stitching me up. i think my scar will be minimal.
