Getting Stronger and Feeling Great.
Nov 01, 2009
Hello everyone following my blog. I have been doing fine. I am at stage 3 blended. My surgeon has me doing this for 2 weeks. I find that I do get full after 3 or 4 bites. I am still having some discomfort from gas and sometimes the reflux keeps me up at nite. I wish I didn't have to crush all of my meds, So that the way I would be more compliant in taking them, add the vitamins and OMG. I have been assured it would get easier.
Right???....
After Surgery Blues
Oct 27, 2009
I had my surgery. I have been doing what is required from the clear liquids to the full liquids, now with the blended. Initally when this all started, I suffered from mental hunger. then once I got home post op. I still deal with being pre-occupied with food. I am getting better with not allowing mental hunger to temp me. I have noticed that the things I use to like, those things are not tasting the same. I don't like shrimp anymore. I just don't like or want anything. I can honestly say I am eating to live. I use to live to eat because I enjoyed eating. Now it seems more like a chore. I have to be more conscious of what I eat, how much, how fast I eat, and if I will get my 80grms of protien in as well as my water requirements. It is truly something that has been constant. I have lost about 30 pounds. and I am feeling better. I still suffer with my back and I am having to learn to break old habbits. Like make sure I move around more. I was always sitting, or laying down. Being more active has made me feel great. I am getting a treadmill. I am going to sieze every opportunity to exercise. I am also waiting on my vitamins to come. My b-12 is being ordered by the pharmacist. So I am coming along great. Just sometimes I get overwhelmed. I know that it will get better one day at a time. I just thank GOD. that he has seen me through.
My Reason For going the extra mile.

I want to be able to play with the kids and not feel like I am about to pass out. I want to be here to see them grow up.
That is my dream, to see them get married and be successful and happy. I wonder what they will think of their new grannie.
