One week post-op today

Aug 23, 2010

When I first came out of surgery I was doubting my decision.  The pain was greater than I expected and the gas from the laproscopic procedure was so uncomfortable.  But I am week out and feeling amazing - almost 100% pain free.   I have been struggling on the liquid diet though.  Why do I seem like the only patient who keeps having hunger on these protein shakes?  My stomach growls a lot, and I can't tell if it is head hunger or physical hunger.  It doesn't go away except for 1 hour after I drink a shake.  Following the diet of soft foods this week will still be a challenge because I miss so many foods.   3 weeks of drinking your meals... I'm going crazy.  But I do like that the scale is going down.  I hope it can continue to motivate me.
