almost 2 weeks POST OP

Nov 21, 2011

Hi everyone :) I'm doing well...most of my incisions are completley healed. The one near my belly button is the slowest to heal up. I tried eating an egg and it went down okay...i just have to eat very slowly...i finished about 1/4 of it then put the rest away and had it later on as a meal.

i've noticed that "heavy foods' don't agree with me...they recommend creamy soups post surgery but they seem to make me nauseous...along with the protein shakes. I'm trying to get the shakes in as much as possible because I know I need the protein, but they are now almost intolerable!

to think 15 days after my surgery is thanksgiving...i could've timed this all better LOL

but surprisingly i'm really only craving what my body needs...i asked for dark meat turkey/sweet potatoes/and spinach for thanksgiving. all of which are healthy..and i'll only be able to have a bite of each but i'm okay with that...i think. i've had trouble knowing when i'm full...i definitley do feel hunger around my meal times but its not horrible...i have a few bites of something and it goes away.

the hardest part for me so far has been to leave food over... i feel like i'm eating so little that i should be able to finish it..my eyes are bigger than my stomach still and i have to figure out how to get them on the same page... any hints?
