Progress......

So today is a better day for me...I woke up a lot les gassy THANK GOD, and a little less sore, I am actually healing alot faster than I thought possible. This morning was my first day of solid food. I ate about 1/4 cup of oatmeal and I am still sipping on my morning cup of joe. In about an hour I will make a protein shake and sip on that until it is all gone. I have to say that I have not really been hungry it's just the mental thinkg of wanting to chew and taste something. I have to keep reminding myself...okay your not hungry.... and it's a lot harder to get allthe water you need that you think it is....just continously sip on water or you will get dehydrated, I think I was a little close yesterday, but I have it under control now. Oh and by the way the liquid pain killer they gave me is disgusting OMG, it's so hard to get it down because you want to chug it but you can't and the slower you drink it the more disgusting it taste....so I have kinda decided I will deal with the pain instead of the nasty taste...the pain is not that bad anyhow. I had already lost 14 pounds the day of surgery which was amazing I was so happy I have no idea how much I weigh now because I have to get a new scale. I promised myself I would only weigh my self on the 17th of each month so I don't over do it and get discouraged. I have been taking advantage of these past few days off I actually took a nap yesterday and I am seriously contemplating taking another today :thumbup:. Hey my body needs rest to heal properly...:ohmy: I still think that this is the best descision that I have made and I am looking forward to see all the progress that I make. 1.png
