So things have settled down so much the past 2 weeks and every day I feel better and more 'normal'.
I am able to try more foods now so this has made life much easier as I was sick of protein shakes and drinks. I wanted something to bite!!! I feel like mentally I am strong now. I remember back to day 5-10 post op battling with head hunger alot!!! I still crave certain foods but have been having a bite or taste of them and fnding they don't taste as good as I use to think hahaha I think getting ...
