Two weeks post surgery

[madwife2002 110]

Two weeks today I had my surgery June 2nd to be exact, it has been an experience to be truthful

No complications, pain eased by day 4-5, slight setback with mouth and throat ulcers which were very very painful and made it difficult to swallow

When I do too much or I eat something which is not pureed or dry food-My body responds and makes me feel ill so I know not to do that again

I am focused on getting 6 small meals a day-64 ounces of H2O in but that is not as easy as it sounds if I could drink like before I would be able to but you have to drink small sips and not gulp it down.

Listening to my body and what it is telling me is something I am becoming better at.

The first 10 days I craved food but that craving has gone away thank goodness-I am now focused on eating high Protein food which is very savory, I do not have a sweet tooth at all.

I do feel hungry, the small meals leave me feeling contented

As you should take 30 mins or more to eat your meals, I have to dip my spoon in and lick the food off-this way it takes me 30ish mins.

I absolutely hate the shakes because they are so sweet so I have turned to Beneprotein which is tasteless.

I am loosing 1 lb daily sometimes every 2 days-My weight loss since surgery is about 17 lbs
