Yesterday was four days since my surgery, and I had some new stuff happening that I thought I'd share. First of all, I got a little dizzy once. I figured out it was because I hadn't eaten lunch. I was 2 hours late and I think that was my body's way of letting me know it needed some fuel, even if it was just beef broth. The other new thing that happened--I was freezing cold yesterday! The temperature outside had dropped a bit, but this was a different cold, from the inside out. I had a hard time getting warm all day. I hear from other people who have had surgery that this is going to be my new normal. I am praying that isn't so! But if it is, at least I like to layer up. The other interesting thing that happened yesterday--my skin is feeling super soft. I've always had extremely dry, sensitive skin, but yesterday I noticed that my arms and hands feel soft for the first time I can remember. I like this change! Maybe my feet will be pretty and callus-free by the time I reach my goal weight. Maybe not, but a girl can dream, right?! I pulled out my scale, too. Now, my scale is much different than my doctor's scale. I will see what his says on Thursday. According to my scale, I have lost 14lbs. Now, much of that is water weight, I know. I got kinda OCD and weighed myself again today. This morning the scale says that I am down 17lbs. I am just glad to know it's going down, and hoping that when I go to the doctor tomorrow, they let me move to stage 2 foods. I can't wait to eat oatmeal, cream of wheat and applesauce! It's kind of funny how truly excited I am about eating these things. My mouth is watering. Haha! It really is!
Love, Peace and Joy,
Rachel
