3 Weeks Post Op

Jun 02, 2016

I can't believe its been 3 weeks! Since starting Optifast I'm down 38 pounds! But let me back up.....

Surgery went well - recovery was a little rocky. I had an issue with a nurse who gave me my pain meds wrong and made me quite ill and over-doped up and later have a panic attack. A bunch of people took a report on this incident but I don't know that anything ever came of it.

Since coming home I've been taking it really slow eating, like instead of a teaspoon at a time I take 1/2 teaspoon, wait 5 minutes, then another. I started pureed this week and am getting a little braver with wendys chili. I ate 4 oz of chili yesterday as a meal - if I had just remembered to put in my protein powder I would have hit my protein goal!

I tried some pureed chicken in tomato sauce, and some mashed up haddock. While both of these things agreed with me they didn't feel as comfortable as the chili so I'm going to back off and just stick with chili for a while.
