Day 25: I lost this whole post.

I posted a whole field of pixels here a minute ago and it all got eaten by the internet.

Highlights?

Recovering from surgery is like getting bitten by a vampire. You can't exactly explain what happened but it wasn't good. But I'm starting to feel more like myself and less like the zombie version.

Also, I caved and started eating the leftover Medifast I was using before I got fed up with an entirely powdered diet and decided to spend ten thousand dollars on the Hail Mary. I really did not want to touch it again but it makes life a little easier, has 15 grams of Protein per serving and is designed for bariatric patients, which I now happen to be. It's something new sleevers might consider since they make a couple of flavors of protein clears along with shakes, pudding, oatmeal and Soups that are all protein supplemented. If you really don't want to have to think that hard about what you're eating while you're recovering from surgery -- it might be worth it. But it is expensive and it gets old *vvery* fast.

There is also WonderSlim and bari...something -- basically all the same product but these two are cheaper.

I walked in the park today, cleaned and did laundry and did not cry once. I am still babying my left side. I am starting to feel like a barn that leans.

:) That is all.

I'm definitely still the zombie version and I've overdone it the last two days and I'm tired, really tired! I'm just ready to be done, done w special eating, done w recovery. I want to be recovered! I want to eat food that it's pulverized in the bullet!

Bitten by a vampire. Does that mean you are going to sparkle in the sunshine soon?

I have to say I am 2 months out and forget that I had major surgery not too long ago. Well besides the restriction but when it comes to activities I sometimes over do it because of the afformentioned forgetting.

Hahahahal Made me cry laughing!

I wish some of you would join us in the chat room in the evenings. It's lots of fun!

Ok Missy you are allowed exactly one "the internet ate my homework" OK? And,,,,you still managed to make me laugh out loud.

The internet ate your post and meanwhile I ate everything else. Today. Even the dog is afraid when I come towards him having exhausted the popcorn, the Cadbury mini eggs, and the cake and ice cream. The liquids on Monday are starting to look good!

Cat room? chat room? Uh oh- I sense a huge vortex with all my free time disappearing down it....

:). I've stopped by there a couple times Oregon Daisy and no one was around :(. Bad social timing, But I'll check again later on :)

We chat in the evenings. It depends on your time zone. I try to check in early for those on the east cost.

Last night we were chatting til past 1 am pacific time and the person I was chatting with was a couple hours ahead of me.

Keep checking! You have to open a separate window and minimize it. Then I read posts or email etc, and I wait for the doorbell that will ring and I will know someone came in.,

...except you were bitten on the stomach!

I prefer to say I was in a knife fight with Mohamed Ali (my docs name)!
