Day 5 Post Op
I had my first tase of "real" food today! it was heaven!
I had to go to a wedding this weekend and the nurse had said I could have some mashed potatoes. The closest I could find was some cheese potatoes. I had to cut them up really small and mash them up. I took my time chewing and swallowing and put my spoon down in between bites. I had about 2 tablespoons and it was enough to fill me up. The hardest part was not drinking while eating. I tried to concentrate on the flavor and chew a bit more. It was amazing to see how much food everyone put on their plates (it was a buffet) and know that I was one of them a short time ago! Kind of felt good not to sutff myself like normal.
Surgery incisions feeling good. The most pain I am having is my knee and arm. I don't want to do anything about the knee just yet. I want to see if the weight loss helps first. I am going to make an appointment with the Orthopedist to have his look at my arm. It's been about 4 weeks and it's not getting better. I think I hurt it using one of the weight machines at the gym.
No scale update today. No scale in the hotel room.
That's OK. I know I'm feeling really good ODAT!
