Week and a half Post Op

I am a week and a half post op now. I have lost almost 10 lbs. I have healed very well and that pleases me a lot. I have been doing the best that I can to stay on my liquid diet. Not easy, it is my mind that I am going to have to fight the most. At certain times of the day, say 12 pm, to me that is lunch time, so my mind is saying feed me even though my stomach is remaining quiet. There are times that my stomach does "say" that I need food, however I am not going to make that a final on that. I have been doing better about drinking water. To me it has no taste so I tend not to drink it. I am allowed to drink V8 now and protein drinks. The IsoPure is nasty and I can not drink it. So that one is out. I have instant carnation drink (sugar free of course) so I am going to try that tomorrow. Protein is the next big thing I will have to tackle. I don't get enough right now. I have had the issue of my hair falling out before due to a medication and now the lack of protein. But I know what is causing it and how to fix it. I have also started using my Calorie King software again so that I can track my foods and exercise. I have had a couple of emotional breaks this past week. Realizing that so much has changed is not always easy. Thankfully Joe is here for me. The kids are also part of everything that is going on and with this move coming up. Joe is used to working and he is having cabin fever and is being a butt to most everyone, including me sometimes. But I know why and I do understand. Okay this is driving me nuts. I have to restart my computer and see if I can fix whatever it is/was that Bacardi has done to my laptop keyboard.
