Appreciation for the little things

[Véronique 238]

I'm grateful to be home, with my unfiltered internet access, lots to read, the fact that the binder my surgeon's office gave me doesn't say that I must wait to start the puréed stage of the diet (though I will call their office tomorrow to confirm).

And the fact that since Sunday, I lost 3,8 kg (or 8,3 lbs)!

I started pureed foods mid week two. I had my follow up 8 days after and I told my surgeon that I was literally waking up with horrible hunger pangs. I would drink some Water to see if it would go away and it did for a moment and then came back with a vengeance. He told me to go ahead and do puree to soft foods and that I would know right away whether or not it agreed with me. He just told me to go slow. And so far, so good.

I know every programme has different requirements and that's what makes giving advice difficult. I've already put in the call to my surgeon's office and a nurse should be getting back to me later today.
