1 week out

May 05, 2009

Today is officially 1 week out from surgery. I am feeling better. The gas is gone. I just have a lot of pain now on my left side. Today I was able to start drinking things other then water. I was also told I could have caffeine free coffee and sugar free creamer. WELL- That was a mistake! It made me horribly ill. I could not get away from the toilet for about 3 hours and had terrible cramping. That put a little delay on my cottage cheese celebration this morning.

Around 2 today I ate my 2 tablespoons of lowfat cottage cheese with salt and pepper. It was fantastic! I loved every bite, even licked out my shot glass I eat it from!

At 7 tonight, I added more because I don't think that I got full from the 2 tablespoons earlier. So this time, I had 4 tablespoons. What I do is put 4 tablespoons on a plate, add salt & pepper- and smash! Then add it back to the glass and eat it with my tiny spoon that I love so much. Again, it was delish! No negative effects, so I think the 4 tablespoons is perfect for me.

I still really wanna eat. I see food on tv, in the kitchen, I smelled a pizza today- UGH! But the cottage cheese does satisfy me. I just finished having a sugar free Popsicle for snacky. Tonight for dinner, I think I will have some refried beans and cheese. Hopefully that has no negative effects, either.

Tomorrow I plan on having some egg beaters for breakfast, sounds delish right? Wow- what a change this is. I looked down in my almost full shot glass of cottage cheese and thought- there is like 10 more bites there for me. Normally, that would have been ONE BITE!

I really hope I start feeling better because I would like to be walking more and hopefully by week 4 get on track with my workout routine. I guess I am a person that wants immediate results, and I just have to be patient and give my body time to heal.

I got to talk to the boyfriend today, so that made my day all the better. 1 week out!!!!!!! I cant really believe it yet. I guess it really has not sunk in that one day, I too, will have a before and after picture. I still cant even fathom.
