Well so much has happened in the past 2 1/2 weeks.  I have gone through some highs and definate lows.  The highs being the numbers dwindling on the scale, advancing my diet.  The lows being, struggling with some pretty significant abdominal spasms.  A visit to the ER because of these pains and some dehydration.  Well since Saturday, I feel great.  I am having zero pain.  The only thing that I seem to struggle with some days is getting in all my protein.  I decided to give the vitamins a miss for  a couple of weeks.  It makes me nauseated.  I have four different kinds but they all do the same thing.  I have gone through some emotional highs and lows as well.  The head hunger can be quite difficult to get through.  Also, you basically have to learn to how to eat and drink all over again.  Gone are the days of gulping down cold water because you are so thirsty.  That didn't work very well for me.  I have learned to keep the thirst at bay to drink every half an hour.  I am now trying out new textures.  I can't wait to get to the crunchy stage.  I miss crunch.  I actually had one little indiscretion regarding crunch.  I ate a bag of Sun Chips (100 cal) at one week out and nearly died!  It was so uncomfortable.  I always seem to learn the hard way.  Lesson learned none the less.  I am down 44 lbs since my pre op!  I am so looking forward to the future.  All is right in my world!!!!!!!!!!!!
