Week 2

Today is two weeks since surgery and I am doing much better.  I have stopped taking all of my pain meds and I am starting to feel more normal.  Starting tomorrow I can start to introduce food bake into my diet.  I am supposed to start with one food.  Then the next meal add another food and then finally put the foods together.  Its going to be a long process but I am somewhat looking forward to it. 

It is really weird.  I have not eaten any food in 5 weeks and I still am not hungry at all.  I guess drinking all the time makes you full.

I am going to have to focus on my protein.  Before surgery they were always focusing on calories and now it is protein as you need this to ensure that your muscles and hair do not start to become weak.  Its going to be a complete life changing experience.  I just have to remember all of the rules.  You have to wait 30 minutes after drinking before you can eat, limit any sugar intake and you can only eat a little bit at a time or you are going to be sick.

I went to see a new specialist today and she has taken me off of all of my pills.  Now instead of taking pills I am just going to be having regular ultrasounds to follow up and see if the cancer is returning or not.  

Since surgery day I have lost 16 pounds in the last 2 weeks and 52 pounds since January.
