2 weeks doesn't really seem like an exclusive relationship. If it really bothers you say something, but you risk losing him if he thinks you are getting too clingy too fast.

Honestly I don't think you've been knowing him long enough to mention it. You're not exclusively dating just talking. Give it some time, hell you should keep looking and keep your potions open as well.

My goal is to get my Protein in... That's hard enough. In addition, I like what I like. I do enjoy the sangria herbal tea. Once I'm able to hold a little more in my sleeve, I'll visit. Maybe it will be a 2017 treat!

Oh, how I miss my morning Starbucks! It's been weeks since I've indulged. I will continue to be strong and stay away!

Not all people would consider talking for two weeks and going on a date as setting an expectation for a serious, exclusive relationship. Have you two talked about not seeing other people?
If he has not agreed to an exclusive relationship with you, I don't think you can expect him to stop talking to other women or dating around. You would want to talk about how you feel and see if he feels the same way.
If he said he wasn't going see other people and he continues to do so...that is a problem. You need to communicate your expections and if he is not going to meet those expectations there is no reason to be with him unless you enjoy disappointment.

Plain greek yogurt.... Hated it before and now love it and have it at least once a day.
I used to love tea... I drank buckets of it daily and hated it afterwards. Even the smell turned my stomach. I have had a couple of cups recently but its not the same.
Now that IS weird seeing as I am Enlish and we are born with a cup of tea in hand lol

You are only a few days out. You just had major surgery. Forget that it was even on your stomach. ANY kind of surgery will leave you feeling weak. fruit is last thing you need... you have a couple of weeks, depending on your doctor's plan, before you have regular food. Your brain is being whiny, and that's the worst struggle.
Hang in there, because it will get better... then worse (with the brain cravings)... then better again.
It's a constant struggle... right now, just sip on your Water and Protein drinks, and find something to take your mind off of the food.< /p>
And allow yourself time to get all of the anesthesia out of your system, because even that takes a long time. You'll start to feel better before you know it, promise!
Just remember to drink! Getting dehydrated will just make it all worse.

Are you taking a PPI (proton pump inhibitor) like omeprazole? That feeling could be related to acid reflux and I know my doc had me take a PPI for the first 6 weeks to help cut down on the burning/bubble feelings.
I know I got the mild lactose intolerance for about 6 months (mostly just upset my stomach and had mild diarrhea), and do recall things tasting too sweet and the sense of smell being stronger too.
It might also be a stricture, but I have no experience with that, and I would think your doctor would check for that at your appointments.

Yes. I already had heightened sense of smell. Now I can actually smell the metallic can of something i eat or drink. I can't stand evergreen bushes. And i swear i can smell the chemicals in everything.

I eat real natural Peanut Butter myself, with just peanuts nothing added. PB2 has added sugar. and I eat it with a spoon!
But I second the PB Protein shake suggestion! Syntax Matrix PB Cookie is the BOMB!!!!! Quest is a good second.
Almost three years out and at goal for two years and I still drink my Matrix PB Cookie! And make Protein mug cakes from it too... search for the recipe!

There are recipes for low carb PB Cookies as well as Protein balls that you can look up.

I'm 3 weeks out and my NUT just told me that I can have it on a spoon. Just eat it like a lollipop not all at once.

I started the day i was released and i have always had horrible painful periods so it was a doozy. The cramps along with the trapped air and surgical incisions made it very difficult. I was hurting from neck to thigh. Yes it was pretty awful. I felt like i was going to hemorrhage. The nurses at the hospital warned me the catheter and surgery could being on my cycle

Water, Protein and Vitamins should be the most important thing you do everyday and adding in exercise. Make sure you're adding Biotin for your hair. I hear so many people talk about losing hair, I can honestly say my hair is thicker than ever and I'm really on purpose will all my Vitamins, Water and Protein
