I have been so very busy that I didn't do a 2 month update. Whoops!
But that's okay because I was busy planning an impromptu wedding! I married my longtime boyfriend on December 10th in a perfect little and private wedding with 20 of our closest friends and family members
I am eating everything except dairy comfortably. I am finding I don't really like eggs or cheese anymore which is really weird. I have been slacking on my tracking but I just got a nutrition and exercise
I am officially one month out and doing pretty well
I am eating four 2oz meals a day and getting in 35-45 grams of protein and anywhere from 400-600 calories depending on my choices. I have been eating a lot of tuna, refried beans, cheese and turkey chili. Next week I will be able to add pork and beef as long as they aren't dry. I am gradually trying out new foods and have found that besides greek yogurt, milk and over-easy eggs everything sits fine.
I have no feeling of hunger
So I am now one week out from my surgery. It feels like is going by pretty quickly. I am looking forward to being able to actually eat something. I am on one protein shake, sugar free popsicles and all the calorie free liquids I can drink. I am getting my 64 oz in and have even gotten more than that in on some days.
Recovery has been pretty easy. The gas pains are gone and I just have some lingering pain in my abdomen. I am lucky enough to have no trouble getting liquids down, I
As much as I have enjoyed the care and iv fluids keeping me hydrated and the great painkillers I am very glad to be going home tonight.

Thank you all for the well wishes and advice, it is all very much appreciated!
This has been pretty smooth so far When I woke up in recovery I was nauseous and in a lot of pain from the gas but the nausea passed and now I just have some pain in my left shoulder but other than that I'm feeling great. I am so lucky to be in great care but I also just want to be home in my own bed
All is well and my journey has officially begun!
