Day 4 Post op: I miss food.
Mar 03, 2013
I am laying in bed miserably because I don't have a lot of pain relief. I am feeling rather full from the 8 or so ounces of protein water I've had in the last 3 hours and also from the four sips of hot chocolate protein shake earlier this morning. I'm not hungry, per se, but I have an appetite.
I woke up realizing that it was Sunday and kind of dreamily thinking about what kind of yummy thing I could have for breakfast: McDonald's Bacon and Egg Biscuit, or maybe a giant donut from Shopper's, And then when I fully opened my eyes, my reality hit and I thought, "Crap. Nothing fun for me." I did add some cinnamon to my hot protein, but it wasn't the same. I found a bit of comfort reading a thread on RNYTalk.com called something like, "What's for dinner?" People in varying stages of post-op describe over pages and pages of posts what they are eating. It initially made me feel better to realize that I would be enjoying food again soon, but then it made me kind of sad and hungry (but I'm *not* actually hungry, you see).
