1St Day On Pureed/blended Soft Diet

I felt like a kid on their first day at school today! Excited AND nervous. I started my Pureed/Blended Soft Diet. This morning I had 1 super soft scrambled egg, and for lunch I blended tuna (in water) with low-fat Mayo. Both went down easily, since I was eating teeny weeny bites, and chewing, chewing, chewing. Both tasted wonderful! But the most interesting thing to me, is that I am not the least bit hungry. After I got up this morning, it was still about 3 hours before I cooked the egg. Either I'm no longer able to tell when I'm hungry (which would be a good thing), or I've never really known what TRUE hunger is (probably a true fact anyway). I don't know if it's because my sleeve is still new and in the healing phase, or if it will stay. But if I had my choice, I would choose that it stayed this way.

 

Still sipping water, and protein shake in between the meals -- still have to get all that in.

 

SLEEP -- I can't sleep more than 4 hours at night, and then NONE during the day. I'm getting really, really tired, and would love nothing else than to lay down and have a nice long nap, but alas, the sleep just won't come. Prior to surgery, I could nap at the drop of a hat. If I'm still not sleeping better by next week, then I am DEFINITELY calling the Doc.

 

WARNING - TMI Coming up - Okay, I've been wondering this, and I haven't seen it anywhere on the boards, so I thought I would put it on here -- My pee has been super concentrated since the surgery, but today it wasn't. I have to say I'm relieved. I was beginning to worry about it, and didn't think to ask the Surgeon about it.

Congrats on starting the softy part of your diet.. and you actually answered a question I had been wondering "can I eat tuna during the soft stage" lol.

Actually when they removed part of your stomach, they also removed the part that controls the hormones that tell you when your hungry, so you may never feel hungry again! Some people complain about having that hungry feeling, but usually that is acid, they are put on meds and that feeling goes away!

I have also heard that some people have problems sleeping. I hope that changes, because your body needs more than 4 hours of sleep a day! Eventually you would think it would crash! I'm hoping that the surgery isn't the reason, and if it is it's not permanent!

I wonder if the reason your urine was so concentrated would be because your body was trying to rid it's self from the drugs, and meds given to you for the surgery?
