2 weeks!

Jan 10, 2011

it's been a crazy two weeks.  mentally, i've worked just as hard during these two weeks as i did during college!  wow, such a range of emotions that i hadn't expected. 

i'm still feeling "hungry".  at first, it was really bad.  i'd feel almost frantic to eat.  i finally figured out it was my blood sugars fluctuating so dramatically.  now, that seems to be leveling off.  i feel the need to feed about every hour to hour and half and don't get the frantic feeling any longer.  it takes me almost an hour to drink an 11 oz protein shake... sometimes a half an hour.  and at least half an hour to eat about 3-4 oz of pureed soup.  i did make some peanut butter protein balls that have helped quite a bit.

here's the progress (wiggle, wiggle... makes me so happy to see this!):

* pants are looser!  in the waist and especially in the legs.

* i've lost 11# since surgery

* already i can tell a difference in breathing and energy level

my bmi ticker isn't wanting to copy and paste on this computer sooo, drum roll..... i've only (YES!!!  ONLY!!!) got 13.7 left to go!
