Smaller meals?

The past few days I don't know what it is, but I always feel full. Even now, I look at the clock, it's been two hours, it's almost lunch time, and I'm stuffed! I had my egg beaters, cheese, and ham for breakfast, which has been fine, but it's two hours later and I still feel it! Maybe it's the water, but who knows. It's quite odd eating only 1/2 cup of food per meal and even eating when I'm not that hungry. Still hitting about 600 calories a day, and making my protein minimum of 65 grams per day.

Yesterday I had to start taking iron pills. My dizziness and vertigo was getting the best of me so I definitely had to do something. I think they are too big, though, but we'll try it again today and see if I tolerate it. It's always an adventure when I try a new food or anything solid. Yesterday I had a burger (93% lean). It was so small! I laughed when Steve finished making them, but boy was it enough!

In three weeks I'm going to be able to graduate to solid foods, pretty much be normal. Whatever that looks like! I'm also going to be able to participate more fully in working out, although I don't know what that might look like yet. I honestly need to get into a regular workout routine, but I'm not sure when I can! As usual I've over-scheduled myself, with school getting back in session in another few weeks and my part time job. If I can't fit exercise in now, how will I then? I still would love to join a gym, I think it might give me more accountability, but we don't have the money for that quite yet.

So, three weeks post op, down 19 pounds...I'm definitely not complaining.
