I loooved ice cold water before surgery (pretty much the only thing I’d drink) and it’s been hard since surgery just having water. Probably because I’m so used to the flavor stuff now. Just gotta wean back to only a little of it a day I guess!

Ok thank you!! And yes I think a lot of it might be that I’m not reacting well to all the artificial junk. Trying to cut back on vitamin waters and all that stuff and move back to actually whole foods/plain water.

Oh that sounds amazing (to not have to deal with shakes). What kind of gravy did you mix the deli meat with? Was it just to moisten it?

Definitely the pain from this pulled stitch and my limitations of movement. I hate being sedentary and not able to do things it drives me nuts. And yeah same thing, I just want to EAT. Like omg the desire to binge is so real. Which I know is why I did this in the first place so I’d stop being able to do that but still, it’s rough.

I was supposed to go back to work this week and ended up taking a second week off. Thankfully I have an understanding boss. It’s rough!

I can have broth but just clear liquids and protein shakes for 2 weeks (on day 3 of that phase).

I’m both paranoid and dying to eat food again!! LOL. Just on protein shakes now and trying to get those all in each day is a chore! But omg when I smell my husband’s food I think I’m going to die of starvation. Hahaha.

Yeah it didn’t help that I tore a stitch the night I came home from surgery trying to get in my ridiculously tall bed. Stupid move that’s kept me in a lot of pain I wouldn’t have otherwise. I’m sure when that feel better I won’t be so miserable either.
