2 Weeks Post Op - Calm And Relieved

By Phoenix Rising

· 437 views

Hi Everyone,

 

Well, if you have been keeping up with my blog you will know that I was a bit concerned as I felt I was able to eat far too much!!! :wacko:

 

Today I again had a boiled egg with cheese for lunch. This time I made sure I counted how many teaspoons worth I ate. I realised that I only took about half a teaspoon at a time and by the time I had finished all the egg I had had eight half teaspoons. In other words 4 full teaspoons of egg and cheese. Woopee. Others can manage three teaspoons so my four, although more, is not too excessive. Boy was I relieved. Now I am sure they did remove most of my stomach and not just make some scars as a placebo effect! :D

 

So today is two whole weeks since surgery, and apart from the scars and getting tired very quickly I am extremely well. In fact I would say that everything was ticketyboo! I realise just how lucky I am and am indeed so very thankful. I hate feeling ill, so to feel this good so soon after a fairly major surgery is just wonderful. :)

 

Hope everyone else is doing just fine too

Phoenix
