Times, they are a-changing!

May 01, 2010

So, I finally weighed myself today and, compared to the first day I started the liquid diet, I lost 16 pounds. Sure, it's good, but it seems like one small drop in an ocean of weight. Oh, well. I've got to start somewhere! I'll do my official one-week weigh in on Tuesday.

Also, I figured I'd share this experience I had. I got a little overzealous on my first day of full liquids and tried to drink some cream of chicken soup. I'd had a SMALL, THIN shake earlier that day so I figured I'd be okay. Unfortunately, a few hours later I got extremely nauseous and almost vomited. Eventually I burped a few times and the soup went down, but I was definitely uncomfortable. It's just hard to know your limits and what you can eat as days go on. I did much better today, though. I had a few servings of shakes and they all went down fine. On average I'm only drinking 5-10 sips right now, so I definitely need to work on my protein intake, but things are getting easier as the swelling of my pouch goes down.

I hope everyone is well, and I'll update again soon!
