I can't believe it's been almost a week since my gastric bypass surgery. It really has been a long bumpy road and it hasn't been easy! BUT it has been worth it!! I am getting really sick of the liquid diet and looking forward to Wednesday when I can have pureed food. I know, who would look forward to puree??? I am just dying to chew something!!!
One thing that is making it a little tough for me is the fact that I can't have sugar substitutes. No splenda, equal or sweet n low. They make me sick; stomach cramps, vomiting, gas (tmi sorry). I couldn't tolerate them before surgery and it was ridiculous to think that I could after surgery, but I did give it a try. I thought that maybe the change in anatomy and digestion would make a difference. WRONG! I spent last night sleeping in a recliner because I felt so bloated and uncomfortable from the sugar free jello and sugar free popsicles I had, that I couldn't lay down. I had to sleep semi propped up. It was awful!
Today has been much much better. I think that I will go take a walk!
