One week out.

Nov 01, 2013

Well, I'm one week out and down 10 pounds. I got my drain out 2 days ago and WOW what a difference that makes. I'm healing so much faster now that that pesky thing is gone. My surgeon is starting me on phase 3 on monday which is also the day that I go back to work so at least that won't be so awkward. That's exciting and scary. He says I'm doing great. I don't always feel like it, but I'll take a compliment where I can get it. 

Head hunger still isn't too bad. It still sucks a little to watch my family eat but I keep telling myself that this phase isn't forever. I'll be able to eat with them again, I just have to use the tool that was given and not over do it. We'll see how it goes. 

I thought I was going into this with open eyes, but everything has been harder than I thought, so why would the next phases of my diet be any different? I feel better about having the surgery, but still a little sad. I guess I'm mourning food. Dang.
