2 weeks post op

My RNY was 2 weeks ago today and I am still have some mixed emotions.24.5 pounds gone forever! I had a mini wow moment. I, looking at myself, can't tell that I have lost any weight. However, Saturday I had some errands to run and I have a pair of jeans that I am used to wearing. They were fitted jeans so they "hugged" in the places that they were supposed to. Well, I put those jeans on and low and behold.. No hugging. My thighs were swimming in these jeans. They were even a little saggy in the butt area. Holy crap. Who knew 24/25 pounds could do so much. I also decided to take a chance on a sweatshirt that a year ago I could barely get myself into. Perfect fit! I was pretty shocked. I thought it would be a while before I could actually really see some changes. Saturday was also the first time a friend of mine had saw me in a while. She told me she could definitely tell looking at my that I lost some weight. Just goes to show that you don't always see the changes in yourself but others around you do.
Another thing that I am noticing is that I never actually feel hungry. It's literally like I have to force myself to eat and if I am going thru my normal day with the kids, I honestly will forget. I'm having a hard time with this sipping theory and I know that I am not getting my protein in. I have Slim Fast - Low Carb shakes because they have 20 grams of protein in them but my stomach doesn't do well with cold liquids and those things taste like crap at room temperature. Anyone have suggestions for that? Also, every time I drink something (no matter what it is) I feel like I had a pocket of air in my stomach and it's uncomfortable. Anyone else going thru that or went thru that? Does that go away? That's what making it so tough to get my liquids in. Every time I sip something, I feel as if I have to burp and can't and the air just sits there.
And my last thing... When do I get my energy back?!? I feel like I have gotten ran over by a truck. Saturday was the first time I have been out of the house (besides going to the Emergency Room). I feel like I can't catch up on my sleep and I'm always tired. I have to honest and say that I haven't exercised since having surgery done and I'm starting to feel really guilty about that because I know that's very important. But some days I barely have to energy to walk Ari's to her bus stop in the morning. Anyone have any insight on that?
And don't get me wrong.. I'm just venting. I know that God has blessed me with this gift and that everything takes time. I'm just eager to wanna do more then just sit on the couch and take naps. My 31st birthday is a week away and I don't want to spend it snoring in my room. Just not sure what to do about my dragging around...
