Week 4
Sunday, June 28th, 2009Well I’ve started on Week 4 after surgery. I am now able to add more foods such as egg salad, soft cooked vegetables, soft fruits (without skin), soft pasta, beans, etc. (no meat allowed for another 3 weeks). My chef has made me spaghetti with tomato sauce with carrots and peas, mac and cheese with peas and broccoli, quiche with tuna and vegetables and a pasta with vegetables and white beans. It is so nice to have some different tastes!! Last week I was able to add crackers or toast so now I have something to crunch.
I am finding that the bread is not sitting well with me although this week I tried pita and that is much better. I am still not really feeling any hunger but still struggling with the wanting to eat in evenings just because I’m bored. Still no dumping or vomiting which is good but past few days I’ve been having alot of gas and alot of burping which apparently is normal upto 4-6 weeks after surgery.
Still don’t know if I’ve lost weight because of my silly scales. I have a follow up appointment with the surgeon July 2nd so will know then about that.
I had 7 incisions from the surgery and all but 2 are healing well. These two though are rubbed by either my underwear waist band or bra.
I am having a hell of a time getting motivated to get back to work though and need to get back into the swing of things.
