Bad and Good day

Hi Everyone! I am 12 days out and started on the pureed diet a couple of days ago. The liquid part went really well and I was up walking and happy etc.... Now that I am introducing other things... my insides feel different... not pain, not nausea.. just different... I was so good at getting all my liquids in etc before but now this wave of ho humness has come over me. I know that it is normal to get depressed a little bit after surgery but man.. thi**** me like a lead balloon.... I stayed in bed most of the day today and worked on the laptop... I decided to give myself another week before I taught my music lessons.... The really good part of the day was when my husband brought me home a chili.. I haven't had it since surgery so i was wary... He pureed up a quarter cup (half cup after pureeing) and I tried it...... it was like heaven... can't believe how wonderful it was... I'm glad that I have 2-3 more meals out of that one carton downstairs.. I just hope that I get over the crying and the down thoughts .... driving me and everyone else crazy.. Jenny

Awwww ((((((Jenny)))......trust me me its just post-op blues and it will pass

Thank you so much for the cyber hug.... I really needed it.... the chili did help a little bit but boy the thought of nachos and a subway wrap is just driving me crazy..... .... I know it will get better when I get out of the house..... I start teaching on Friday... thanks again.. Jenny

GLAD to hear ur doing well jenny! THE emotional ups and downs come with this journey! ITS normal! hang in there and soon the rewards of being a big looser will over ride all that all the best

Typical reaction of your body/mind to the surgery, the trauma, the starvation, the loss of food in the way you know it. Many challenges on the journey but keep posting, sip sip sip and take one moment at a time if u need to! HUGS Jamie
