5 days out...

Jun 13, 2009

And I have lost 11lbs of water weight, gained in the hospital from 3 days of IV fluids ,and 1lbs of my own weight (based on 2 different scales, but from the time I got home until today there is a 12lbs difference)! It's going VERY smoothly. I feel great! Only pain I have is when I burp..... ugh horrible! I can't wait for the steri-strips to come off the incisions.

I take my vitamins well. I had to think of a better way than just chewing them.... NASTY! I crush them up, mix the mult, vit C, B-complex syrup, and calcium goo in to some isopure. Takes me a few swallows but they go down pretty easy.

I did run into my first food challenge at a friends last night...... She was making finger foods for everyone: taquitos, soft pretzel bites, pizza won-tons (a montage of finger food from the Schwan man).... OMG they smelled SOOO good. Like I just wanted to chew some up, suck the juice out of it, then spit it out! But it wasn't because I was hungry, just because the idea and look and smell of those pizza won-tons painted an image of an enjoyable experience in my head if I were to consume them. But I got over it. I just said to myself, I can taste them later, if I even really wanted to.

Until I find something interesting to type......

xoxo
