I feel great! I called my boss this morning and told her I would be in tomorrow, she and everyone else are like, are you sure? Yes I am I walked on the treadmill for 30 minutes this morning, have been out shopping almost daily and feel generally back to normal since Tuesday. I admit fatigue was getting to me last week but that was from anesthesia most likely. I have had no pain, never took narcotics, haven't taken any Tylenol in a week and my incisions are well healed. I seem to be a quick healer. I have been getting head hunger a lot especially watching commercials, and the smell of food hasn't changed for me, still smell so darn good and appetizing. The head hunger is so interesting to me. I can be very full and see an ad on TV and think that it LOOKS SO GOOD. Its the strangest thing! I've read a good book on the psychology of food while recovering, need all the help I can get because I know what my issues are. I really do know the difference between head and stomach hunger, I get the same hungry stomach signal I've always had when its time to put something in there albeit only a couple of tablespoons and this happens every 3-4 hours like a baby. Melted cheese in cream soups have been awesome as well as cream of rice with protein drink poured on. I really like the refried beans and melted cheese too. I am excited to start soft foods next Monday and eat some chicken salad and ground turkey with gravy which will make my taste buds happy, those have not changed at all. I thought they might, but they haven't. This journey has been good to me so far, I cant wait to see what's next
