Needing to vent!

Jan 23, 2011

I'm like many others who chose to tell only a select few about having surgery.  I am SO tired of hearing "you don't need to do that, just join Weight Watchers or Jenny Craig and get more exercise."  AHHHHHHHHHHHhhhhhh   Do these people not pay attention to all the countless times I have tried these diets only to lose 20-30 pounds then gain back 25-40?  I mean REALLY?!!!!!    It's like they have completely forgotten that I am an intelligent person who researches EVERYTHING, and that I would never go into something this serious blindly or without thought.  It happened again last night and I just needed to VENT!  Thank you for listening.  I will settle down now. 

This is postop day 4.  Nothing tastes good.  I have had GNC protein drinks, which aren't too bad, but they are not terribly appealing and it takes a long time to get them down.  I need the protein so I keep pushing it.  I am drinking water and I have not had any diet pop for a week now.  That was what I dreaded most.  I do enjoy some broth now and then because something warm makes it feel more like a meal.  Can't wait to get rid of the JP drain.  It is uncomfortable and I just am tired of dealing with it.  All-in-all, things are going well. 

Hope you all have had a great weekend!
