2 weeks out

Mar 13, 2012

I had my surgery 2 weeks ago today on Feb 28.  I'm still sore and I've already lost quite a bit of weight since they turned in the claim to the insurance company due to the 10 days of liquid before surgery and now 2 weeks of clear liquids after.  As of a couple of days ago I've lost 32 pounds!!!!
 I've never in my life wanted something different to "eat".  My husband has been really trying to be supportive and eat soups and things in front of me up until a few days ago but he would crackers in his soup and I swear I can smell them and I have never in my life wanted to eat a freakin cracker so bad in my entire life!  One day I found myself standing in the kitchen dreading juice or broth and there lays the package of crackers....well I couldn't help myself I knew I couldn't eat any but I sure the heck could lick one just to have some texture and something different and I did.  I've done that when things get bad to were I'm starving and really not wanting clear liquids.  
Tonight I had my first blended soup and I don't think I've anything as good in my whole life. I sat there and savored every little bit of my ramiken (sp?) of blended progresso soup.  It's the most I've eaten since I had my surgery and I felt full well not full but very satisfied.  I've been so terrified up to this point of getting sick that i've only taken a few sips at a time and I know I haven't been drinking as much as I'm supposed to.  At one point I used the timer on my phone to remind me to drink but after a while I got tired of hearing it plus my husband did too so I stopped and just try and drink as often as possible.  I know I'll be so sick of the regular liquids soon enough but for now I'm going to savor every little bite.  But I'll deal with that as it comes since I have until April 10th to eat them.  I'm going to try and keep this writing up since I think it will really help me a lot.
