Two weeks prior to surgery I was on a liquid diet, I lost 10 % of my weight 24 lbs. I was excited for the loss, but I am still on a liquid diet for 1 week post op, no protein shakes. At least pre-op I had the protein to fill me up, but I am so hungry now 3 days post-op. I am weak, grumpy and not happy at all. This is my Dr.s menu, I wonder if he has ever tried to survive on this little. I know I am complaining, but I am so frustrated!:tongue_smilie:
Oh my, it is me! I am on my way back to being someone I recognize! Hello Gorgeous!! (lol) I can't believe it, as my face is thinning it is revealing the old me!
I am on my fourth day post-op and I am starting to feel half way normal. This is due to my DH's ”miracle broth”! He made a homemade chicken broth and beans, then he pureed them in the blender and ran them through a sieve (I am on a liquid diet), this is the heartiest thing I have eaten. I actually feel as though I am being nourished, he is so sweet I am lucky to have him. :thumbup:
My pain is almost gone; hardly any stiffness in my legs and my tummy is feeling better. I was wondering what I had done to myself the first day after surgery. I thought I made a big mistake by doing this, but now I know I am doing the right thing and I am excited about my future. This will be a future I am a part of, not just a bystander! I feel as if I am taking back the control of my life and it feels wonderful!
