placebo weight loss surgery

 



day 1 after surgery

jim made me oatmeal with honey and homemade honey butter for breakfast

bleu cheese and tomato wedge of lettuce for lunch 

and this lobster and veggie mix plate for dinner

almonds and cookie crisp cereal in between meals

oh and a midnight snack of a boiled egg

i didn't walk or move at all, i was wheeled to the bathroom a few times but used very little energy to move my body the little bit that i did move it. 

day 2 after surgery
jim made me a blue cheese, turkey, tomato omelet for breakfast 

he gave me another baggie of almonds around lunch time i think he forgot that i was suppose to have lunch 


by 3pm, i was texting my mom and asking her to bring me an apple pecan salad from Wendy's

i gobbled that down 

for dinner - jim made me coconut shrimp in the air fryer with homemade pineapple dipping sauce

by 11pm, i was snacking again on carrots, broccoli, and celery with ranch dressing and a can of diet dr pepper


my activity level was better than yesterday

i attempted the crutches a few times and even managed to hobble and drag my leg down the hallway from my room to jim's room - jim said he was proud of me. 


i don't know why i am writing about all of this - but i figured it would be important one day to look back perhaps... this is just where i'm at on the journey. 


extremely groggy and out of it with a constant regime of heavy-duty narcotics... it sure helps to keep me unemotional because trust me, i have plenty to be emotional about. 

i haven't stopped editing - my addiction to this is worse than i thought, and i am constantly triggered by own TRUE feelings when i rewatch these video journals to myself. It's both healing and upsetting at the same time. 

ok. closing this up and headed back to my video editing. good night.
