@S@ssen@ch you are right. I shouldn’t be eating pasta or rice. I usually add like a teaspoon just to make my protein and veggie meal complete. All amounting to 1/2 a cup. But you’re right. I might be a slow healer and shouldn’t have started eating regular food yet. I guess I was anxious to eat normal food. I’ll go back to the simple stuff or the stage before. Thank you for your feedback. Foamy experience better describes what I go through. I was worried about meeting my protein and nutrition goals if I can’t finish the 1/2cup of food. I think I’ll go back to the soft food stage and start from there. There’s something my body doesn’t like and I’m not sure what it is. It could be the tomatoes, onions and bell peppers I cook my veggies and protein in. I’ll give my diet a closer look. Thanks :)

@GreenTealael I will do that. Thank you. I think I might also be eating too quickly yet to me I consider it slow since I’m counting between bites so compared to before, it’s slow. But I suppose I need to slow down even more. Take more time between bites so I can better recognize the feeling of being full before the burping even starts. My plan says to eat healthy whole grain foods in very small quantities. It could be my body is not ready for it. I will call and inquire more on it. Thank you.

@Aj Tylo I’ll do that. Simple foods first.l and I’ll give shrimp a try. Thank you for your feedback.

I only told my ex who we broke up a week before surgery. No one else knows. My family think I went to boot camp and came back a changed person who’s on diet and wants to exercise to get healthy. One of my coworkers knows though because we went to the seminar together but we are not too close. She wouldn’t tell anyone though. We are best buddies when together but after we part it’s like we don’t know each other....if that makes sense. It’s nice to talk to her about stuff though since she’s trying to lose weight as well.

I agree. I switched to Tylenol by the 5th day just because I’m a big baby when it comes to pain. But as long as you’re not on any strong medication especially ones that result in dizziness you should be fine. Put some music on and sing along on your trip. If you feel tired at some point, stop somewhere, stretch your legs and stay hydrated. The most important thing is to make sure you get more than enough rest before the trip. I went to Centralia from Seattle (that’s like a 2hr drive) and I was fine. I did sleep a lot once I got there and wasn’t driving back till late the next day. I also moved to a new house over the weekend which 19days post op and I didn’t have any movers. I didn’t lift anything too heavy continuously but I did here and there. Plus going up and down flights of stairs. I was tired and sore but still fine. I listen to my body and I know my limits.
