3 weeks post op today...
I am three weeks post op today. I have really had to relearn how to eat again. Somethings go down easier than others, while some foods are just way better for me to be eating. I am eating a lot of chicken because it's so rich in protein, and with me being allergic to the whey protein, I have to be getting that protein in any way possible.So far I have been doing great with the tool I have been given. I am still only able to eat small amounts of food, about 2 oz. I eat everything that my family eats, I just eat smaller amounts. If they eat pizza, I only eat the pizza tops, and make sure not to eat the crust because that would expand in my pouch thus leaving no room for anything with protein.
Today I was feeling so good I decided to vacuum out the car. Big mistake! HUGE! I should have never done that, my tummy has been throbbing since I got back in the house. If it continues I will have to take some tylenol. I am still leaking the dissolving fat through my belly button incision. The bariatric dr. said this was totally normal.
My husband left today for 14 days to go train for his upcoming job in Iraq. He is somewhere in Louisiana, but he has cell service! Honestly, that is all I care about. With school being over for the summer for me, I have found myself looking for something to do today. I am just so bored without homework running my day.
I can't wait until it's time to start traveling with the kids. Check, oh Check, where are you????
I am sort of excited about TLC's summer line up to start. I also need to order HBO so I can see the True Blood season 3. It's starting in a couple of weeks. I have turned into a couch potato over the past few weeks. I have always enjoyed my shows, but my list is starting to grow.
This was a very random blog.
