Those darn liquids!!!!! And other happier stuff

Oct 14, 2012

 I am trying my best but I am not hitting my 64 oz daily goal yet.  I feel like I'm sip sip sipping all the time, but clearly I need to do it more often.  
I am close today. IF i finish the 4 oz in front of me, then drink 8 oz of tea and a popsicle/jello I will be there!  

Other than my liquids I've actually had a lot of victories today :)
1) I have drank some protein today!!!  I have been trying to do various nectar flavors and unflavored in broth, but I drink those SUPER slow (because they are so gross tasting to me1) Pre-op they were ok, but they are hard to stomach now.  Hubbin went out and found some bottles of the Isopure RTD and it's drinkable!!!!  I even drank a full 20 oz bottle today over the day.  I do recommend alternating sips with water since it's so strong tasting, but it's protein and I drank it!!!!!!!!

2) I haven't taken any pain meds since bedtime last night! I'm one step closer to being an independent woman! Things are still sore don't get me wrong. I'm certainly not doing any crunches over here, but it's all manageable so far.  Perhaps he day is coming soon when I can sleep on my side again! 

3) I have had a loss every day this week on the scale!  As in 2-4 pounds per day.  I know this is temporary, but wow!!!!  So far I have lost 17 pounds since surgery and it will be one week tomorrow!  My Personal goal for month 1 is to lose 26 pounds so I hope even with the dreaded "3 week stall" I should still be able to lose 9 more pounds before Nov 8th.  

4) I still haven't vomited!! haha I know that's a silly one, but I have been really dreading that feeling esp with all these new incisions so I am taking it slow and easy.
