I am one month post op and head hunger is already getting me. I went to the grocery store and bought some cookie dough. I haven't baked the cookies yet and I know if I do I would probably eat 2-3 a day. I know this is going to be hard, my craving for sweets is crazy!!!! I attended an over-eaters Anonymous meeting this morning. I felt a little out of place because technically, I can't overeat, but I am a food addict and I can make bad choices. I have got to find away around this head hunger
Still in a lot of pain. I just started the gas.. not sure what took so long. I am sipping but still not able to drink broth or protein shot. I was finally able to get on my bed. That was a huge step because I was sleeping in a recliner.
So today is the first day for decaf coffee. I asked the NP yesterday, "do I really have to do this"? I only drink one cup of coffee in the morning and that's it. She said it does something to the internal organs. It took me 4 hours to get in the flow today at work. 4 Hours!!!! That is crazy. I expect the headaches to start tomorrow. Time sure is going by SSSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWWWLLLLYYYY
Well today I have my pre-op labs and final surgeon appointment before the surgery next week. For the most part I am doing good.. sticking to the pre-op diet have lost 30 pounds since I started this journey but yesterday I slipped. I was craving a burger so bad and after 4 weeks of the pre-op diet I gave in. I hate that I did it, but all I can do is get over it and try again. Tomorrow I am supposed to start Full Liquids. I hope I find the will power to continue on....
