This is my 9th day post-op. My condition continues to improve on a daily basis. I have to say that I'm feeling much better since I started walking approx. 30 minutes/day. And I suppose it doesn't hurt that last night, and for the third night in a row, I had a good night sleep which is simply just awesome after 6 days of light and interrupted sleep. Yesterday was also the first day that I was able to consume everything on my menu. I did have to make a conscious effort to eat my three meals + three snacks but I felt relatively hungry so it wasn't such a hassle. I also took my car for the first time and it went very well. It actually felt good to get out of the house and do something. I shopped for and cooked a huge bolognese sauce. I even tasted it but just to be on the safe side, I spat it out. I can't wait to be over with the liquid diet! I'm so craving texture!! And meat!! Especially since The Food Network is basically on all day long in my house. That'll entice a few cravings... However, I'm still adhering quite strictly to the menu my surgeon gave me. Breakfast is the hardest because I really don't enjoy eating my cold or warm cereal. I'm more of an egg for breakfast kind of gal.
My days are spent in a relatively relaxed mood, going for small leisurely strolls around the neighbourhood with my dog, watching cooking shows, reading a bit and looking at myself in the mirror to check if I look like I lost weight. By the way, my conclusion is yes, I do think my face is thinner. My cheeks seem to be losing a bit of their plumpness. Yeah baby! My clothes are a bit looser too. Me very-very happy!
And now, to complain a bit... I'm getting a bit tired of everyone calling me every single day to see how I'm doing. My BF told me I'm being kind of a sourpuss because people want to know how I'm doing out of love, care, worry, etc. And I know that. It's just that I'm not big about talking on the phone for starters and I feel like I'm always repeating the same thing over and over and over to everyone. Also, a few people out of my circle of close friends and family have wanted to pop by to see me. I feel like an attraction at a freak show when I hear that. If you didn't come over to see me before I had the surgery, why do you need to come over and see me now? Am I acting like a diva?
