Energy coming :)

Feb 18, 2011

Hello.  A lot has happened since the last time I wrote.  Today is the first day since surgery that I feel like I have a great amount of energy.  I know it's still very early and I don't want to overdo it.  I am still sore.  I feel happier than I've felt in a long time though.  When I stepped on the scale this morning I was very pleased.  I've lost 27 pounds in just 11 short days.  I know that I'm newly out and this rate of loss will not stay, but still I have an ear-to-ear smile :)))) 
I am still on the pureed foods.  I drink one protein shake made of 10 oz. water, 2 scoops Max protein power and 1/4 cup egg beaters (296 calories/56 gm protein) and I drink it over the course of a day.  I usually eat 1-2 TBSP food 3-4 times daily.  I know I should be eating more often as per my dr's instructions (5-6 meals daily), but food just isn't appealing right now.  I have kinda cheated.  I drank about 4 TBSP dill pickle juice on 2 occasions now.  I know I shouldn't have, but I have only been craving 1 food since the surgery and that's dill pickles.  My 1 month appt is scheduled for March 7th.  I have been journaling everything I do (my food, my protein shakes, my pills, etc) each day as per my Dr's instructions. 
I can't wait for Spring when the weather is nice and I've dropped some weight and have energy and I can work in the garden.  I love to garden.  The past few years I have been forced to slow down though because of my weight.  This year I hope to do it big lol :)
