Post Op day 5

Going well, moving better each day.
My back is quite sore, i think it's from sleeping in the recliner, think i might try upstairs in bed again tonight.
I was able to get in a bit more "food" today, still not much. I ate & drank -
5 oz yogurt
6 oz protein shake (i'm supposed to try to get 2-3 of these in)
1/2 of a SF popsicle
SF Pudding cup w/ 1/4 scoop protein powder
1 cup egg drop soup
sips of water all day probably 20-25 oz.
(SF stands for sugar free)

So nowhere near that amount of protein they want me to get in, nor the amount of liquid. But i'm working at it and that's the good thing, I certainly got more in today than yesterday.

I am noticing that I really am not ever "hungry". My head is currently playing games with me and making me think/lust for foods I can't have right now, but i'm not even really hungry for those, just obsessed with thinking about them. It's a head game, i know that. The egg drop soup was yummy and i really enjoyed that.

It's amazing how much my taste has changed. Toothpaste tastes HORRIBLE! Sweet things taste 100% sweeter i swear, and i'm eating the sugar free variety of things. Hope when i get back to yummy proteins like fish, seafood, chicken and such they don't taste funny too.

A couple people have asked me if i've lost weight yet. I havn't really bothered to check, immediately post op you have so much swelling and such from the actual surgery that you often don't lose a lot. My plan is to wait to officially weigh the first time this weekend. My ticker reflects the weigh in the morning of surgery :-)
