So, yesterday I had my first post-op doctor check to make sure things were going good. Which they were. I weighed in at 300.5 pounds and the nurse was happy with those results. So, was I. I don't see the difference, but 30 pounds should mean a physical difference, right? I do have a little more energy (even though on occasion I am battling the roller coaster of energy, like I mentioned before) and today I went to the Y and walked on the tred mill for 30 minutes. It is a start. I went a little over a mile, and I thought I could do more at my normal speed, but half way through my walk I got pains and tired so I slowed my pace. Still made my mile so ROCK ON!. It is all good.
So, ya the nurse yesterday said I could start full liquid diet (cream soup, adding protein, etc). We went out to dinner after a few running around (shopping), and I had a roasted garlic, onion, tomato, basil soup that was OMG delicious. I am not sure if it is always that good, but since I was on a different flavor palate, my taste buds exploded with taste. It was AWESOME! I ordered a cup of soup and only took a few bites and I was full. It felt weird only ordering a small soup and then taking most of it home, but I am sure I will get used to that. At first I made the excuse of: I am not really super hungry but I knew if he ordered something I would want something (to the waitress) and then I thought why did I just give that excuse. I do not "have" to order if I don't want too. Just order your drink and chat and enjoy the company of others. It is all good. We will see how I do next time.
Tomorrow I am helping host a birthday party at a bowling center for my youngest. We will see how it goes, and go from there too. Man I feel like I could use a nap, right now. Seriously energy drain drives me banana wackers, and soon I am sure I will find a happy medium.
I might write more late, but for now be safe all and see you later!
