Post-Op Day 4
i know it may be premature to be talking about bandster hell...but could i really be experiencing it 4 days after surgery?! yesterday i felt much like i did the first few days of my pre-op diet...hungry and wanting to snack. i was told at discharge that i could begin the step 2 diet as tolerated (the mushies) so i have been eating cottage cheese. but yesterday i wanted more. here is my what i consumed yesterday: 3 protein shakes, a cup of cottage cheese (2 separate servings), 1/2 cup of chicken broth, 3 sugar free popsicles, 1/4 piece grilled chicken breast, and a zero calorie vitamin water. now chicken breast is not really a mushy, but it went down fine:(
i feel like i have no restriction at all, although my doc told me the band itself is a restriction...i'm just not feeling it! at some point yesterday, probably before one of my popsicle snacks i stopped and listened to my body. i was not hungry. not one bit. i don't ever think i was hungry, but my mouth craved flavor and wanted to be filled. today i am more cognizant of what my body is telling me. and while i am not trying to starve myself i realize that i am not hungry. i have had one protein shake so far and i feel stuffed.
i have also been more active today...and by more active i mean i have been doing housework! enough to work up a sweat!! trying not to overdo it but i'm kind of tired of sitting around (wait, did i just say that?)...anyways...tell me what you all are eating and if you think i've entered bandster hell or if yesterday was a fluke!
