I'm just adjusting I suppose. :) But I can't wait for the swelling to go already! :)mis-erialchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383585600498387962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363394969158171664.post-60297697039487029832014-07-16T11:13:13.384+08:002014-07-16T11:13:13.384+08:00Hey Claire!

Although it's been 6 days since you publish that post, i just want to encourage you. <br /><br />I do have moments whereby i feel many of those pointers you mentioned too. I totally get how you feel but i just want to tell you to keep your focus on being positive. You're still in the early stages of recovery so you shouldn't be too quick to judge how you look. Honestly when i look at myself now, i don't like how i look at all. I do miss my old face a little but that's only because all the swelling hasn't gone down. <br /><br />Trust that you made the right decision and trust your surgeon (you mentioned we share the same surgeon? If yes, he's amazing so you've got nothing to be worried about). :)) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363394969158171664.post-45292260780116448752014-07-12T00:00:33.439+08:002014-07-12T00:00:33.439+08:00Thanks Sean.

And no dairy is pretty extreme to me too... but I'm going to read through it and find something that works for me. About looks, yeah, it's a process about adapting I suppose. Just need to be patient with the healing process. Thanks for the encouragement.mis-erialchttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10383585600498387962noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6363394969158171664.post-86386289220373825152014-07-11T02:44:20.901+08:002014-07-11T02:44:20.901+08:00Based on my imprecise analysis, the # of kcals you...Based on my imprecise analysis, the # of kcals you're eating is way way below what you're reasonably using in a day. This could definitely contribute to fatigue, stress, etc.<br /><br />It's cool that Primal Blueprint is available at the library over there! I personally liked this book:<br /><br />http://www.alanaragon.com/my-book.html<br /><br />Hope there are some good soup and swallow-able recipes in Primal Blueprint! <br /><br />Also, don't want to turn your blog into a paleo vs. non-paleo argument section, but Alan (above book) has put out an interesting slideshow where he gives his thoughts on some stuff that paleo tomes like Blueprint have said:<br /><br />http://www.nsca.com/uploadedFiles/NSCA/Inactive_Content/Program_Books/PTC_2013_Program_Book/Aragon.pdf<br /><br />Despite this, Alan does advocate low intake of processed foods especially those with calorie-dense but nutrient-lacking "flavor enhancements." So he is in agreement with many but not all of the Primal Blueprint precepts.<br /><br />Anyway please give yourself permission to ignore those who criticize your looks or decision to have surgery. Also, your swelling is probably not down yet; in a month when the swelling is gone, I bet things will be much better. Until then try to get good rests and sufficient nutrients :-)<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16438332456197483960noreply@blogger.com
