I know I was already on a liquid diet for 2 weeks, but at least I knew about it and was prepared for it. Somehow, it's worse this time. First of all, my pouch must not be nearly as inflamed as it was right after surgery. I can drink more at one time than I could those first two weeks. Secondly, I had no time to mentally prepare for going back on this liquid diet. I've had a taste of "real" food again, and it sucks to have that taken away! For both of those reasons, I want "real" food more this time. I'll be ok, just needed to vent. The plus side is, I haven't thrown up since I've been awake today.
My ice cream maker is here. Just waiting on my SF Torani syrups to show up, which should be tomorrow, and I'll be a protein ice cream making fool! My friend Erin made some today, and said it was yummy! I can't wait!
At least all this frustration hasn't come without its benefits. My energy level is starting to increase, maybe due to exercising more. And I am losing weight still: 41 pounds overall, and 23 since surgery. 4 weeks out. Nice!
For now I'm gonna try to be Positive Polly and not Negative Nancy. But I may need some help. Thanks in advance for having my back!
