post op 10 days

Its been 10 days since the surgery and I am feeling a hell of a lot better. The only thing that really bothers me is the incisions. My queesiness is gone and I'm starting to get the hang of this 3rd stage diet. I found out that the funky taste in my mouth and dry tongue are from somthing called ketosis. It is when your body is burning stored fat it happens usually on liquid diets. I was told it will go away when I start eating normal again.

I am starting to get so excited about losing weight. Every time I put somthing on.....I am so used to it feeling so snug and restrictive, but I am serious when I say.....it is so loose already. I have lost 17 pounds on my scale at home. I have to start thinking about going to one of the support meetings. I wouldn't mind meeting some local people going through the same thing.

It took all my willpower not to taste the Pizza at Chuck E Cheese when I took my son out the other day.

I have that same nasty taste in my mouth...UGH! Sounds like you are doing great! 17lbs...WAY TO GO!!!!!!
