2 weeks

Jul 20, 2009

It has been 2 weeks today and I am now 20lbs lighter.  I haven't written as much as I wanted to post surgery.  Things have been very busy around here.  My best friend's mother past this past week and that has kept me pretty busy.  As well as in the kitchen cooking for their family.  One of the things I was worried about post surgery was how I would feel about cooking since I am not participating in the eating part.  But as it turns out I am OK.  I still love to cook and that has always been a huge part of me. Holidays, birthdays, events and family functions I am the caterer.  The best part is that I do not feel any sort of hunger at all and have not since before surgery.  The hard part was not taste testing to see if everything was OK but my son handled that job for me.

On another note it is an adjustment to master a protein driven diet.  And to find food choices in this pureed stage of recovery.  I have the liquids down.  Just keep sipping.  A tip: Do not bring the liquids to the table it will help you to remember to not drink while eating.  Ta Ta for now till the next time.
