Ugh...

Jan 13, 2013

Just joined up to obesityhelp.com for some much needed support.

I am struggling for the first time since surgery with hunger. I'm calling this my 'Residual Big Girl Problem' phase. My mind says I'm starving but my stomach knows I'm not. This liquid diet is taking its toll on me. My doctor seems to be very strict (much stricter than most doctors) when it comes to post op diets. I'm on all clear liquids until a week after my surgery. Then for two weeks I can add in milk, protein shakes, strained soups and things like that. After that I can eat blenderized food for a couple weeks before I move on to soft foods and eventually real food trials. These phases of diets have me down today. I feel as if I will never eat again. I know that is a bit dramatic but having not eaten in quite some time (pre op liquid diet) this is the state of things. I'm sick and tired of clear liquids. I need some sort of texture soon. 

My energy level is at an all time low and I can't bare the thought of returning to work on Thursday.

It is usually easy for me to stay positive but today I'm just blah...
