I'm so impatient!
Mar 05, 2009
So now I'm one week and four days post op. Now I know what Ericia meant when she said they changed the rules. When we first got our packet, we were to replace a meal with a protien shake. The new paperwork wants us to get a protein shake inbetween meals. I can't do it. It's so hard for me to eat everything that I need to and drink the minimim liquids! I am doing it the old way. Replacing a meal with a protein shake. I am not feeling tired at all but still feel "weird." I can't wait to feel normal. Another thing that's wrong with me is I'm so impatient! I cook soup to eat and take only the broth, but occasionally I let a chunk of chicken sneak in. I was okay with that, but then I had Italian Wedding Soup and I let a chunk of meatball sneak in. I chewed it up until it just melted away. My stomach did not like the meatball! Yuck. No vomiting, but my lower intestines were on fire! Yuck. It was just like the commercial for the diet pills, I had gas with oily discharge. YUCK!!! Newbies: don't cheat. Stay with with plan until the doc says so. This is a nasty side effect. Anyway, surgery weight was 210, I am now 206. I didn't expect to lose weight yet. For some reason, I just thought weight would come off after recovery. So another thing for me to preach beside be prepared is be prepared and be patient! And even though they changed the rules, we have to see what works for us.
