I'm Struggling With My Choice.......
I had my sleeve surgery on Feb. 13, 2012 and here it is nine days later and I'm struggling with my choice in having surgery. I haven't had any pain or horrible side effects. At the beginning, the diet I've been on was not a problem. But today, I find myself not wanting to eat, not because I'm not hungary, I don't want to eat because I don't have the desire to eat one more serving of strained soup, liquidy mashed potatoes, protein shakes, etc. My first follow-up with my surgen is one week away and I know I'll be receiving my next "approved" list of foods. Because my husband had the same surgery with the same doctor/dietician I know that I will be going to the next phase of "blenderized" foods until the six week check up. Which again is nothing more than soft foods in a blender. As for weight loss, I weighed myself the day after I got out of the hospital and I weighed 295 lbs, today which is one week later, I weighed 289.4 lbs. So yes, I have lost some weight but given the small amounts of food I'm eating, I was expecting to see more of a loss. Are my expectations unreasonable, can I be the only one struggling with the lack of variety in their meals??? I can't say my husband has been much support because all he can say is, honey it will get better. Maybe this is the time I should say that he does not follow his reccommended diet, he eats/drinks what he wants and because of this, has hit a plateau after initially losing 60 lbs. Any advice or acknowledgement that I am not the only who has struggled is appreciated!! Thanks
