Week 3 Update

May 24, 2011

I have one more week of liquids and hopefully that means no more protien shakes, because I am so. sick. of. protien. shakes. Really. I told myself I was going to be honest on all these, so here goes. I ended up in the hospital this week from dehydration. I went in for a routine check-up, unrelated to surgery, and they said your blood pressure is way to low, you are dehydrated. So they sent me to the hospital and pumped me full of fluids. Problem is, I didnt even know I was dehydrated. I didn't feel dehydrated, I wasn't thirsty, and I felt like I was getting in enough liquids. SO now I am over-doing it a bit I think. I am feeling nauseated from all the liquids. I think it is working though because I didn't lose as much weight after my visit to the ER. This week I have lost 3.8lbs ( which I am a little disappointed with, because I did see a smaller # on the scale and I was hoping for the 5 lb loss like the last 2 weeks, plus I feel I am loosing rather slowly, but it is probably water weight from being on the IV and from over-doing it in the liquid department) this is a total of 14 lbs lost since surgery and 35 since before my pre-op diet.
