It's a full week since my surgery. Several of the smaller incisions itch, which I guess means they're healing pretty rapidly now, and even the biggest one only rarely hurts. (When I cough. It hurts when I cough.) I'm officially down more than 40 pounds from my highest weight and, I don't know, 5-6?, from my surgery weight. (I check the scale daily, but I don't focus on it too much. I know it's unreliable.)
Overall, I don't feel like roasted garbage anymore, which is pretty great, but I am still a bit tired and fuzzy-headed. Getting to 64 ounces of liquid isn't hard for me, at this point, and getting past 60 grams of protein is only hard because I don't have enough varieties of protein shakes on hand. My delivery from Unjury, with a bunch of packets of chicken noodle soup flavored protein, should arrive today. That'll make things better.
I'm trying my first decaf coffee since surgery. Cross your fingers for me--I love coffee (even decaf, yeah) and would be pretty bummed if it was off the menu for too terribly long.
