It's been one week since the surgery, and I couldn't ask for a faster recovery. I feel great, with minimal pain. I go to the doctor for my post-op appointment on Thursday to have the staples out, and I'm pretty sure he'll advance me to the next phase of my diet - real food!
I cannot wait to eat something solid. I've been on my full liquid diet since Saturday now, and it's getting old very fast. Since I am having trouble tolerating artificial sweetener, I'm basically living on coffee (decaf), skim plus milk, farina, and Jell-O sugar-free fat-free pudding. I'm getting sick of my protein shake already, but I guess I can deal with drinking it once a day.
On the plus side, I've lost 16 pounds already! I can't believe how quickly it's coming off. Of course, I can't notice it yet, and I probably won't until it's a lot more. It's still exciting though. I try not to weight myself more than once a day but.... well, sometimes I get a little crazy.
I'll try to behave.
Have a good one!
