6oz stomach

Forgive me readers for I have sucked, it has been 14 days since my last update.


So, what has happened in those 14 days? Well, we've progressed from yogurt and broth to soft foods (refried beans, mashed potatoes, baked potatoes, mac & cheese) to "regular" food.
Now when you're starting up the "regular" food diet, you're suppose to take it slow. Cheerios, some deli meats, and baked fish. The less intense the better.

Our first solid food was pizza.

DO NOT JUDGE ME.

I took everything off but the cheese and I chewed that sucker until it was liquid. It was the most delicious thing I had tasted in my life, which is saying something considering it was from Sbarros and I hate Sbarros. The piece I got was smaller than my thumb.

Since then I've tried tater tots, cheddar bites, frito chili wraps, pizza pockets, pizza bagel bites, various soups, some chinese food, a toasted rueben sandwich, and some hot german potato salad.


Everything seems to have been agreeing with me so far, none of the food has caused any stomach aches however some has caused my poo to smell worse than usual (It was the soup, ironically).
The only thing that really gave me any grief was the lactose free milk. I had about two fingers worth in a glass with some buffalo pretzel bites and not 10 minutes later (about the time it takes for food to get to my stomach now) I had cramps and the runs (which considering I've had nothing but liquid poo since the surgery, that's saying something).

I'm afraid of food again. Before the surgery I wasn't so much afraid of eating as I was ashamed that I ate. Now I'm afraid. At the same time, however, I'm curious and feeling rather adventurous. "Can I eat this? Let's try!"

I'm also going to the gym twice a week, my trainer is a doll.
Or so I kept reminding myself when I had trouble moving today.
My ass hurts in ways I never knew it could

Today is the three week anniversary, and when I weighed over the weekend I had lost a grand total of 15lbs.

I started at 233, I am now 218.
Yay!

The lady at work who also had the surgery came to see me today, and she started squealing with glee. I now have my cheek bones back.
Welcome back, welcome back, welcome back.
