11 Weeks Post Op

Jan 24, 2012

It's been 11 weeks since surgery & I feel okay.  I have not met the recommended protein intake or water, but the surgeon and nutritionist insists that by 12-15 weeks post op, things will change.  I typically am able to eat 2-3 bites at each mealtime.  I am like so many others in saying I am just not hungry - all it takes is 2 bites and I feel so stuffed.  I have lost 40 pounds as of today and am starting to notice my clothes becoming loose.  My feet are shrinking too...  I would like to get a card from my doctor that allows me to order from the children's menu - but then again the food on the children's menu isn't always the healthiest choice.  I am tired after a full day at work.  No food = no energy.  No regrets though.  On a personal note, my husband will be deploying in March for 6 months.  He is my support, my cheerleader...that is going to be tough.  He has helped so much in taking care of the house and meals so that I could focus on me (for a change).  So I feel like I have another layer of stress.  I know it will be okay, but I still feel stressed.
