Made it through the first month!

Dec 21, 2014

Here's my update. Feeling a lot better and a lot stronger. Occasionally I still feel a little pain here or there but overall I am much better. I had my first follow up appointment with the surgeon. She said she doesnt believe there is an infection. The one that has been looking "angry" actually had to have been quarterized after surgery to stop the bleeding. Thats why it looks so different than the others and why it is not heeling as quickly. Hearing that it is not infected was very reassuring. I have finally been moved on to the soft food diet. So far that has been going well. I am having a hard time getting in enough calories but I am tolerating most foods pretty well. Some foods do make me feel nauseous but I think that is normal in the beginning. I went to two parties this weekend...sat in front of a TON of yummy food...and I didn't touch any of it. I wouldve eaten all of it if it was 2 months ago! I have tried to take the proper amount of vitamins and calcium but so far...i am failing at it. The THORNE vitamins should make it easier since all the vitamins (except calcium) is in one capsule. Just take it three times per day and your golden. The problem is...they are disgusting! The smell, the taste...Just HORRIBLE. I am trying to ignore it and take the vitamins but...its hard.  Next problem is the calcium. I was supposed to start taking it 2x per day, seperate from when i take the thorne multivitamin after i started on soft foods. anyway, i took one so far. just one. it tastes so insanely strong and tart and dry and it just sticks to your mouth and its so strong. I hate it. I wonder if there is a better tasting one? I'm gonna have to find out.  I think I may be experiencing that 3 week stall too. well, for me its a 5 week stall. I am stuck at 219. It's so weird. I am not even eating 1,000 calories in a day. I hope the weight loss doesnt stop forever! We will have to see.
