Week 5

Good news for week 5 is that I am still losing weight/inches slowly and that is keeping me going. Bad news is I am so tired of being nauseated all the time. I have little energy and my body can't decide between constipation and diarrhea depending on the day. I am eating, but usually it is a disappointment in taste and an exercise in wondering: will this stay down? cause me gas? cause dumping? will I ever feel normal again? Kind of melodramatic this week, I guess. I just have to keep telling myself it will be worth it in the end.

I will be 4 weeks out on Monday and have pretty much just been sticking with the food that works for me (Im on pureed). When I try something different it can lead to that horrible intestinal grumbling, usually within an hour and of course that leads to bad cramping in the bathroom. So, rather than try new foods I'm staying with my cottage cheese, yogurt and refried beans. Not much of a diet but it works and I figure slow and steady wins the race so no need to hurry through the food stages!

That's a good plan, I was told to branch out to soft foods last week and it has been an experience. The best results I've had so far are soft boiled eggs. Getting kind of old though, but at least they don't make me sick. I'm sure it will get better in time. Best to you!
