Just some Thoughts...
Nov 07, 2009
Well here I am. Just about 10 days out and I'm noticing some things that I'd like to get down on "paper" and off my chest. So my surgery went very well. Pretty uneventful, which is what you really want. I love my surgeon, and he was pretty pleased with the whole procedure. The pain I experienced in the hospital was not fun, but also not unbearable. Dry mouth is probably the one thing that I really wished we didn't have to deal with. Oh, also one of the nurses was not so nice. I wanted to tell her a thing or two, but decided aginst it. Otherwise everyone was great. The thing I'm recognizing about my previous eating habits is that I must have eaten out of pure habit and boredom pre-surgery. Let me explain. I haven't really gotten hungry yet since my surgery, I eat, but not because I'm hungry. I eat because I know it's time and something usually smells good and that triggers something in me that says "hey, that would taste good." I hope I'm not completely coming out of left field here. Has anyone else ever noticed this? When everyone else is eating, I feel like I should be eating, even though I'm not hungry. I guess there's the social aspect of eating too. Then when I do eat, I really notice I have to eat at my own pace. Not their's. Today we were at a restaurant and i just had soup. I must've sipped it too fast or something because I felt like it was barely getting down. Kinda startled me.
