One Week Check-in

Oct 07, 2010

This week has been an interesting week.  I am glad it was only one week of clear liquids.  I don't think I could of handled any more days of broth, tea, water, jello, and protein drinks only.  I know my blood sugar couldn't handle it much longer.  Yesterday, I felt terrible.  I was light-headed all day.  At point, I felt like I was going to faint.  The only thing I did yesterday was work on laundry and my husband did all the lifting.  So, it wasn't exactly "over doing it".   

The only other thing I hate is taking my pills crushed.  They are making me gag.  I haven't found a mixture that won't make me gag yet.  I can't wait to see my PCP on the 21st to see if I can take these pills in other form.  It's three of them and they are horrible.

I am excited about today and the coming week.  I can start eating yogurt and pureed soups.  Hopefully, those additional calories will help keep my blood sugar up enough so I won't feel as light-headed and will have more energy to walk.   

I did lose additional 5 pounds since the surgery, so that is a positive sacrifice to all this light-headiness.
