And now.. some honesty.

Nov 20, 2010

So, I had my surg on Monday (11/15) and after a week-plus of clears I can honestly say without a doubt that I am ..


STARVING!

God bless you people who lose all sense of hunger because you are my idols right now!  I also wish I could blame this empty, unsatisified, growling sensation in my awesome tiny tummy on gas, head hunger, acid reflux, the phase of the moon... or anything but being unadulteratedly famished.

I've been lucky enough that my first few days post op, I was so sick I was barely able to drink water (crystal light, etc), much less actually have the desire to put something solid in my face.  For my pre-op clears, I LOOOOVED the broth from my favorite chinese restaraunt (basically the wonton soup sans wontons) but I tried it post-op; it was PURE salt.

Nothing was appetizing and I was GLAD!  It's easier to not eat when you genuinely don't WANT to eat!

Oh, today is not the case.  I woke up early in probably less pain than I've had all week, so I took a reduced amount of med,  straightened up the house a bit, fixed a protein shake, and cooked some breakfast for my daughter.  Now, I've never been much a fan of scrambled eggs, but actually battling with her to eat her eggs was getting a little frustrating (since to me, they looked like filet mignon). 

Husby starts his mushies tomorrow, and I thought he was so crazy to be looking forward to his breakfast of scrambled egg and cheese- now I'm dreaming of watered down cream of wheat and milk-based coffee drinks. 

THIS TOO SHALL PASS!!!
