1 Week Out Today!
Mar 24, 2010
Okay so today I am 7 days out and I weighed myself this morning--I am 13.8 lbs down from what I was the day before surgery!!! Yay for me.Let me just say that this week has been easy as well as hard for me; let me explain.
First with the easy part, it was easy because I really had no pain at all, except a soreness the first couple of days. It was also easy because I haven't been hungry at all.
It was hard for me because it felt like every 5 min. I was getting up to get some water or protein (it was actually every 30 min) but it sure felt like I would just sit down and I would have to get up to get some more.
It was also hard because of the lack of energy. When I take a shower I have to rest when I get out. When I take my longest walk mid-morning, I seriously take a nap when I get back because I have no energy.
The last reason and probably the hardest for me was all of the food fantasys I was having, even though I wasn't hungry. To say it was terrible would be an understatement. I have thought about every food I have ever eaten and some that I never have. Things that I would have never eaten before looked like they had an angelic glow around them. No kidding. My husband thinks I am crazy to be thinking about food. But I told him to try and not eat a lick of food for an entire week and then come talk to me.
So today I am supposed to get the okay from Dr. Rumsey to go to the next stage of food, soft foods. I am just too excited to be able to have some cheese, eggs, and yogurt. I know that he does his surgerys early, so I probably won't hear from him until early afternoon. But once I do, I am going to be walking my butt over to the store to get me some grub!
So that's my week in a nutshell.
