I'm getting hungry.....and bored of this liquid/puree business

May 09, 2010

So I'm about a week and a half post-op.  I weighed myself at one week and was down 10lbs. WooHoo!!!  I'm also starting to actually feel hungry and my stomach growls (loudly) if I don't attend to it fairly quickly.

I am having trouble getting all of my protein in.  I was told I should be getting in about 90 grams daily and when I tracked the other day I only got in 30ish grams.  I know part of it is that I am SICK of my current protein supplement because I was drinking it the whole month pre-op.  I've ordered a couple of variety packs from Unjury that should arrive tomorrow to help me get on the right track. 

Physically I am starting to feel like ME again! The overwhelming fatigue is subsiding, the pain is minimal (haven't even had ibuprofen the last few days) and I can drive again!  My clothes are fitting looser and it feels great! Normally I would HATE to have my jeans sagging all over the place, but it means I am LOSING WEIGHT (Forever!) so it's worth it!

I think being more active on the forums may help me know if I'm experiencing "normal things" for this stage post-op and to get some tips from others.  So off I go to read away!!!!!!
