Holy crap, I actually did this...

Oct 28, 2013

I had my surgery 5 days ago on Thursday and was released with my drain on Saturday. The first few days my back hurt more than my belly. For real, you have no idea how much your back will hurt you. Besides making me super sexy, my drain is a little uncomfortable and slightly gross but it's serving it's purpose. 

So far I"m not enjoying my RNY at all. Mostly feeling like I've made a mistake. I know it's just the pain and frustration talking, but it sure does suck. I was having second thoughts all the way to the day of my surgery (even considered bailing at the hospital) but my good old hubby told me it was time to face this demon (food) and made me feel like a hard ass and I went for it. 

I'm on phase 2 of my diet, eating eggs, yogurt, cottage cheese and soups, adding protein to everything. It's hard to tell when I'm full. Mostly my belly just feels bubbly, so I stop eating. My nutritionist said at first it will be hard to tell, so just stop. Head hunger isn't bothering me as bad as I thought but smelling the food my hubby and son get to eat sucks a little. I just have to keep reminding myself, I'll be able to eat that all again someday.
