5 days post op

Sep 06, 2011

 I lost 5 lbs in 5 days !!!! I am stoked..
The best part....  blood sugar already in normal range and blood pressure too.

I admit I am having trouble getting liquids in. I can do about 30-40 ounces a day. The doctor today told me just to worry about keeping hydrated. He said dont worry about the cream of wheat, yogurt, cottage cheese: Liquids is the most important.
So... that is what I am going to do. I bought some italian ices today and that is another way to get liquid in.. 

Now for something on the gross side:  Have my bowels forgotten how to work? I would think the fat needs some way to come out, right? hmmm, hopefully one day they will remember how to work. I do understand I am eating nothing solid, but like I said, how does the fat come out??  Just some thinking I am doing..

Well,,,,  I went to my hubby's job today with him, keep in mind my husband works for the bariatric program that I was in. I saw my surgeons,nurses and others..  I got so embarrassed when I though, ' OMG, they saw my boob and insides', I know..weird, right?

Let me tell you, Grocery shopping for your family is down right depressing. I found myself once again mourning the loss of food. I stayed strong and survived it. I bought all their favorites and some of it I really enjoyed at one time too. I was a trooper and went to the breakfast isle and got my carnation instant breakfast, dry milk powder and crystal lite. Food of champions. It is ok though, I am on the up side of getting healthy and in shape and that is all that matters.

well, time to start dinner for the family,
Enjoy your evening!!
