First Post-Surgery Blog

Dec 10, 2009

I've been avoiding this site for some reason since I had surgery.  Not consciously, but I think I've been trying to wrap my mind around everything that's going on with me post-surgery.

I'm not complaining at all.  I've had a really easy time of it so far.  I think that scares me because I'm waiting for the other shoe to drop.

I've been on purees since Thanksgiving, and so far, I've not had any adverse food reactions.  I've eaten some things that made me feel weird or kind of bad, but not the "dumping" that I expected.  My biggest issue right now is I'm bored with purees.  I can't eat another egg, and everything else either sucks or gives me the gag reflex.  I've found a few dishes I like, but it's hard.  

I feel like I can eat more than the 2 ounces of food I'm supposed to be able to eat.  I feel like I could be close to doubling that, and that scares me!  I don't want to be stretched out already!

I've lost approximately 20 pounds so far, and I see NO difference at ALL!  That REALLY REALLY upsets me.  My clothes don't feel any differently, which is baffling.  Where is the weight coming off if my clothes are all the same "tight" they were before surgery.  I don't understand this at all.  I can't grasp how much weight I have to lose before my clothes start to feel loose.  FRUSTRATING beyond compare!!

Other than that, I'm eating well, and healing really well. 

I don't really feel all that different.  It's strange.  I guess it takes a while to feel like a "new" me.  I'll be patient and see what happens.
