Starting to tell some people
Mar 21, 2009
Things are progressing very well for me. I have minimal pain, except for the one incision on the left that Karen and Dr. Verseman told me would be a "bugger" for about 4-5 weeks. I am getting in about 2-2 1/2 bottles of water a day, a little pudding or jello. The protein drinks not so good. I bought some Designer Whey yesterday at Wal Mart, cookies and cream. Yuck. I am just so sick of milky things. I bought some muscle milk today, malted milk. I did mix it with some skim milk and I can tolerate it, but I know I am not getting in the protein I need. I know I was told I would fail this week at protein and I am.This afternoon the weather was wonderful so our family went out to my in laws farm. There is a mile trail around the cornfield that we love to take our dogs on as they can run off their leashes. When we came around the bend by my sister in laws house, several of my husbands siblings were there and we got invited to stay for hamburgers. I hadn't told anyone in my husbands family (we are surrounded by them) except my in laws, as my mother in law has been feeding my family pretty regularly. I figured people would wonder why I wasn't eating so I told both of my sister in laws who were there. They were both very supportive and asked a lot of questions. They both (who don't have any weight problems) seemed genuinely glad for me and I was pleased I told them.
So today was great on the activity front, but poor on the intake front. My son raises pigs for 4H and we went today and picked them out. They will come home at the end of April. But I always know spring is coming when we pick out the pigs. I am actually looking forward to this warm weather season. Normally I hate having to come out from under all of my sweatshirts and sweaters. This year is going to be different and I can't wait!
