Bill wanted a steak for supper, so mom grilled one in a skillet and we baked some taters and green beans. I ate a few green beans and mashed up a quarter of a tater and put some cottage cheese on it and it was super yummy!!! I told Bill the other night a baked tater actually sounds "good". Most food is just not appealing right now, and literally I don't get hungry, my belly just aches. The hunger pangs just aren't there right now because they took away that hormone when they did the surgery. It won't come back for a year or so? The only signals I have now to eat are from empty tummy growling and rolling. I know then when I feel that "pain" I need to fill my belly. It won't be pain here after I heal up. I'm not sure what it will feel like then?
Lovanox shots twice a day are really making my tummy look bad. I have bruises and pinholes in my tummy everywhere. Bill, bless his heart gives me the shots. There's something about poking myself with a needle that creeps me out! I refuse to do it. Brody sure has taken an interest in the shots though. He knows when Bill goes to get them, and he comes over and stares at me wiping down my belly with alcohol and then he intently stares at Bill poking me! It's funny! He raises his little eyebrows and it's sooo cute! It doesn't hurt at all so I don't even flinch, so I hope through this all these boys become better at getting shots! ha ha .... I can only dream!
Ohhh here you go... I finally posted pics. I will put up the first two. The first one is Day before surgery, second is yesterday down 32 lbs.
I'm looking a little deflated! That's the most you can tell right now. Plus I can't wear jeans yet. I might try on Thursday when we go back to the Dr. We'll see? Gauchos and sweats really make a person look frumpy, but hey, they are comfy on my tummy right now so I don't care!
