4 1/2 weeks post op

Mar 29, 2012

Things are going well. I'm on regular foods though I'm still eating mainly protein. I experience hunger which is supposed to be unusual for the first 6 months or so after surgery. They tell you that you can mistake hunger for thirst but I've tried to drowned the hunger and it's not working. It's ok I'm sticking to my 3 meals a day. I did snag a piece of cheese before bed the other night because my philosophy is if it's keeping you from getting to sleep it is worth a little piece of lowfat cheese to quell it. 

On the clothing front I'm ready for new sizes. I try  not to buy much and I'm going to find some consignment shops. Our support group does a clothing swap now an then but I am so hard to fit that I didn't have much hope for finding anything. I discovered recently that I really am a petite and by buying petite sizes rather than average my pants fit much better. 

I'm getting used to leaving a lot of food behind. I hurt myself once or twice by just eating 1 bite or 2 to many and all of you post-op people know your bites have to be miniscule to begin with. I'm only eating about a 1/4 cup of food at each meal right now. 

Still loving the journey and I hope you are too.
