7 days post

Well it's been 7 days since I went in for surgery. Talk about a whirlwind of emotions and things happening. I go to the doc tomorrow for my 1 week check up and if my scale is anything close to correct I ve probably lost close to 20 pds but I ll update that tomorrow for sure.

Some weird emotions have really came around since surgery. Not sure what has caused them except going through a pretty major change like having your stomach changed from an endless bag of holding to 4 oz tops makes you think some about all the changes you have to make in your life so that can get out of the prison you once were in. These changes are scary for me because well like most humans I am a creature of habit and don't really like change when it comes to the way I live my life. I know it must be done in order for me to be with my family for the longest time possible but it sure doesn't mean I have to like it. This has led me to really rely on my mother during her time here more then she know's. Right now and for a while I will be basically on puraid food and protein shakes with lots and lots of fluids.

Now I can some what cook. You know baked chicken, grilling & pasta noodles but I was worried that since i am not the most profienct cook that having the variety that I may need in order to stick to it with temptation was going to be hard. Since being home I have watched my mother cooked and have come to find out that it doesn't look that hard. That gives me real hope. Not only for me and the puraid diet but going forward when I can eat like a real person and also help make sure there is healthy meals for Soma and the kids seeing as she works later then me.

Well I am getting pretty tired and think I may have rambled a bit. Sorry. I'll try not to do that again.
