Ups and Downs

Sep 19, 2012

It feels so good to finally start seeing some of the pounds coming off.  I actually have a little energy at times. 

This post surgery time has been really confusing for me.  My doctor requires three weeks of liquids after surgery then proceeding to three weeks of mushy foods before introducing solid foods.  There are two other doctors that I've read about that only require one week for each.  Why such a drastic difference?  Surely if it was harmful, these other doctors wouldn't make the recommendations to their patients. 

Out of the blue today I got upset because my kids were eating food that I really wanted to eat but couldn't.  Does this ever go away?  I'm not deprived - I am filled with the protein shakes, jello and broth that I get to eat....so why do I feel deprived?  I know it's a head thing....I only hope it gets better with time.
