25 lbs down so far, since surgery weight.
Here are the main things I've noticed:
- My typography has changed. Shirts are longer and generally fit better than they did. My belly still feels huge and swollen but it's better.
- My sense of smell is greatly heightened. Not totally in a bad way but everything smells so much stronger.
- My energy patterns are changing, maybe increasing. While I haven't been super active yet, I don't feel as lethargic either.
- The stairs at KHK are easier than they have been in a while.
- Hungry isn't the right word but I feel this weird sense of vast emptiness from time-to-time. Like a gaping cavern. I always have been "super sensitive." Maybe I am that in tune with what's happening in my body?
- My emotional state has been fairly stable. Yesterday I was an emotional mess, in a funk most of the day and in tears more than once. That's the first really off day I've had since surgery though.
- I'm bored. Vanilla and "chicken" flavors only get you so far before they are just blah. Change of textures helps some but ultimately I just need real food back in my life.
- I miss chewing. I actually can't stand jello but one of my favorite things is CHEWING on some jello. Just today I permitted myself to have my 1st piece of sugar free gum since surgery and it is AWESOME!
- I'm moving forward one day at a time and doing the best I can. I'm thankful for the great supports I have in place and I'm excited for the future and what this journey will bring.
