It is Saturday almost 2 week post -op and I feel better then I have in a very long time. My sugar numbers still remain normal, I've got tons of energy and I have no pain of discomfort. The incisions are still sore within, guess that will take a while...might get better sooner if I'd stop running around but it just feels so darn good not to be exhausted all the time.
I have noticed that taste has change, I seem to crave strong tasting things..Hummus, stuff with garlic etc...olives, pickles...weird huh? Of course I can't eat any of that right now but its on my mind. I did go out to lunch with Rich yesterday, I asked to have the New England Clam Chower (one of my favorites at this place) blended, they were very accomodating and the soup was out of this world.
I had it for dinner also, but I added unflavored Unjury to it for extra protein. I will be looking forward to real food, but I'm not rushing it. This Full LIquid isn't all that bad and I try not to pay attention. I'm never hungry so that helps...getting down 64 oz of water a day is rough also but I do my best. I have no idea how much weight I've lost. Rich says the puffiness in my face is gone. I have to see my surgeon on Wed. I figure I'll let her share my surprise...so check back and be surprised also....
