Back to work

Jun 14, 2010

Today was my first day back to work, after being off for 2 weeks. It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be, thought I would be alot more tired at the end of the day.
I did have 1 girl ask if I had lost weight. It was nice that someone noticed.

I went to the gym & walked 30 minutes at lunch, that is what I was doing before surgery so it was good to get back to that again.

As for my eating, I am finding that 1/4 cup of soft food fills me up & keeps me satisfied for about 2 hours. This has been my eating today:
5:30 am 8 oz of juice with 1 scoop of unflavored protein powder 
8:00 1 string cheese
10:00 I ate 1/4 cup of tuna salad (tuna w/lite mayo only) 
12:30pm the other 1/4 cup of the tuna salad
4:00pm 1/4 cup of low fat yogurt & 2% cottage cheese
6:00 pm 3/4 cup of fat free refried beans, cheese & light sour cream (this was too much - think I ate too fast)

I am not able to get in 64 oz of liquid yet in 1 day. I think the most I have been able to get in is 50 oz.
That is something that I am really going to have to work on. Overall I am doing well. 

Can't wait to see what each day of this journey holds. I am so blessed to be able to be banded. God has been faithful & I know He will continue to be, each step of the way.
