Doing Well

Jun 25, 2011

I am really happy with my decision. I was afraid that I would have this buyers remorse that I see so many post about. I do not have that at all. I am completely happy with almost everything. The only thing that I HATE is my open wound. It wouldn't be so bad but that it has to be changed twice a day and it is painful. My doctor purposely leaves open a "dirty wound" that has to close from the inside out. This is to prevent infection somehow. I don't really understand and don't feel that I really need to - it is what it is and I am coping well and so are my mother-in-law and mother who are changing my packings everyday. God bless these two woman!!! I love them both dearly.

I have been eating okay. I should be drinking more but today I am drinking crystal light and am finding that I am able to get in more fluids this way so I will use it.  For the first stage I was told to try to get in 40 grams of protein and now that I am stage 2 that I need to get in 60 grams of protein. Today I may make it to this goal. I am trying to avoid protein drinks as much as possible as I am sick of them but I will drink on if I need to get my numbers up. I like the carnation instant breakfast and find them rather tolerable.

I am losing weight at a steady pace and could not be happier. Right now I am 32 pounds down from my heighest weight!!!!! YA - FREAKIN' - HOO!!!!! I do know that I will have stalls along my way and I will deal with them as they come. For now I will take my .4 or .9 lbs down a day. Any loss is sweet to me. I can't wait to see what I look like next summer as we go to Disney. There should be a major change.
