...post-op

I feel pretty lucky. I've not experienced a great deal of discomfort. I was able to sleep on my port side (which, oddly enough, is my left side. I get that most are probably on the left, but as an old sailor, the whole port side/left thing...ok - it was a lame stretch) after a couple nights.

I'm still sort of hungry at times but less so. My biggest concern is not getting enough calories and stuff. Too long doing that will stop weight loss - at least that's what the Fitness Pal thing says (a handy little tool, by the way). My sugar is a little wacky, too.

I'll get it figured out. I see having to get hold of Protein supplements pretty soon. There are lots of choices. I suspect I'll land on one that suits me sooner or later.

Appreciate the thoughts over the week - here and at the blog. This'll be the last progress post, but I foresee tons of questions in the time coming.

Thank y'all

I was worried when I was practically starving and not seeing the scale move. Not that I anticipated dropping pounds in the first few days but it was odd that I lost 20pds before surgery and 3 days after with little to no food intake the scale hadnt moved at all. After I started drinking protein regularly again the scale has begun to move and I think my body is out of the "starvation" stage. Get some good protein and you should be set!
