FEELING GREAT!!

Oct 05, 2009

Well it has been almost a month since my surgery and I FINALLY am beginning to feel like myself again! I am beginning to taste things and test things. I am learning how to use spices including FRESH ones and that is something I have NEVER done in my life. So I am excited about that! I hope it is normal for the weight to fall off a little slow. It seems though that I am losing more inches rather then pounds. Is that normal? My rings dont want to stay on my fingers and last night I put on a pair of jeans I havent been able to wear in a year!! I still cannot do the protien shakes as they make me sick to my stomach. Milk is also another thing that turns my stomach and I detest any form of pasta. I tried a small taste of it and I knew I couldn't eat it again. I have not dumped or thrown up since my surgery!! I am learning new and creative ideas and I will begin writing a cook book for gastric bypass patients. So anyone that has any recipes send them my way. There doesnt seem to be alot out there for bypass or lap band patients as far as cookbooks, and what to expect before and after surgery and I dont know about anyone else but it was a scary, nervous ordeal. Anyway, I also started doing home day care this week and I have four 3yr olds everyday so they keep me busy and on my toes. My first nutritionist appt. is this Thursday so we will see how it goes. It was a rough road the first 2 weeks and I thought I would NEVER feel like myself again but now it has been worth it!
