Day 6 Post Op

Jun 25, 2011

As I titled this blog post, I still cannot believe I am on the other side.  Day 6 has been an interesting one - I have introduced new things and have felt like I have been hit by a car.  Two things I have noticed though are that:

1.  You have to introduce new foods/drinks SLOWLY.  Holy runnin to the bathroom and thinking I was gonna die. 
2.  Once I figured out how to introduce foods in a slower, with less tragic results, my energy started to pick up a bit.  My body needs the food.  Having gone through a recovery program for an eating disorder where I would restrict and binge, I guess I never realized how badly our body needs the food as energy. 

Overall thing have gone well, I can't complain, and I have lost 6 pounds since surgery.  I stopped taking tylenol and painkillers this afternoon and so far have felt fine.  A few aches here and there but nothing I cannot handle. 

Anywhoo - I am going to keep rollin and learnin as I go along... They weren't kidding when they said this was a journey!
