8 Days Out
Apr 13, 2011
So it has been a week and a day since surgery, and as of the 6 days out appt. with my doctor I am down 17 lbs. WooHoo! I am happy with this number, but I am miserable with the full liquid diet. I am running into a problem with excess acid which is actually making me feel hungry and liquids just don't cut it. I am hoping that Saturday when I reach the puree stage things will be better. I am happy with the speed of my recovery thus far, I still have some discomfort, but nothing major, and the more I walk the better I feel. I am learning what an interesting effect this whole experience has on a person, I have been pretty emotional the past few days. I feel like I need a vice, I have always had a bad habit (eating, smoking) to fall back on when I was bored, but now I got nothing....I am not looking to trade addictions, but I need something to help pass the time.
