I can't believe I didn't blog this long

Feb 17, 2009

I guess surgery takes the wind out of you more than I imagined. Oh, the pain goes away quickly, even isn't as bad as antisipated, but the energy! Does anyone else feel this way? Or maybe it's just me. But I am just starting now to get some more energy back. Don't get me wrong, I haven't been laying around doing nothing! But everytime I do something I get exhausted, have to rest for some time. Anyway, ...... this week has been much better so far. I am back to my typical activities and yes, I'm still a bit slower, exhausted a little more than usual...... But, I am doing it!!!!
I still think sometimes ...... did I do the right thing here? I'm still on the pureed diet, and I think this is the problem for me. I don't eat enough, my stomach is in knots when it comes to eating. The pureed stuff that is. It grosses me out. If I eat one more bite I will......... But enough with that....... 1 more week, I can do this!!!! Help me Lord!!!!
Then there's the weight thing. I don't know if I expect too much, but I am soooo frustrated. I lost roughly a pound a day after surgery and the swelling went down, ...... But now, that I had a goal to be in Onederland by Valentine's Day, ...... I am not losing. I'm between 200.8 - 200.0 for the 4th day now !!!! Now I realize I won't be losing a pound a day forever, but grrrrrrrrrr, I want to be in Onderland sooooooo badly!!!! I know I know, patience, you WILL get there. But I guess you can tell..... I'm not the most patient person out there! LOL, ...... this too shall pass .
On the 23rd I have my 4 week follow up with Dr. B! I'm pretty sure I will add a blog after and I will try to get some pics up at that time. My goal is to do this monthly to keep a good journal. I sure hope this will be the last day on the pureed diet then for me!!!! And I will also try to finally get my ticker to work and add a signature in my forum posts (My computer won't let me do it for some reason and I have to do it on my daughter's laptop)!!!

See ya later
