Day 5 post surgery

Day 5 post op. Feeling good-ish. Scale said 230.5 this am.

Weeman has been my constant companion. I noticed this morning that he has gone on a hunger strike. His breakfast lay uneaten all morning. My appetite is beginning to return, and I wonder if he could be the most perfect dog ever?

Speaking of food...when I was in the hospital, the nurse asked if I would like a sugar-free Popsicle. At the risk of sounding like a crazy person I will admit that I asked if it contained Aspartame. The Aspartame laced Popsicle was refused and I drank water instead. I am not a health-food crazy person, or rather, I don't consider myself one. I had however, just spent 12 days preparing my body for surgery. I used my own self prescribed method and did a colon cleanse, a liver detox, I took airborne and vitamins daily and I even began taking colloidal silver. I was probably in the best health I had ever been in, so what is the harm in ingesting a trace amount of cancer causing Aspartame? Lack of food does strange things to people.

HOT TIP! The other night I found the most wonderful sugar-free Popsicles. They are sweetened with Splenda and made by Dreyer's. These are a must have for any post op patient.

HOT TIP! When you have surgery that involves huge amounts of super strong antibiotics, chances are that The Yeastie Boys will stop by to rock your world for while. Watch for them on day 3 or 4. If you have any inclination that they have arrived....they have. Promptly greet them accordingly.

I had an outing yesterday, and probably over did it. I am feeling the effects today. My muscles are very sore. My appetite is returning, and I have two more days left before I can start on liquid protein. I think these are my first complaints and I deserve them :)
