My first trip out

I went out today and I'm exhausted, I live on long Island and I needed to go to GNC to get some liquid protien and that is like a 45 minute drive, then my hubby decides we should just go grocery shopping and walking around in that grocery store holding on to the cart, my back hurts like nobodies business! Im sitting here with my heating pad on my back and I feel better already!! Had cottage cheese and cherry yogurt for dinner, couldnt even get half of them down LOL but I'm stuffed!!! No hurting on my stomach or incision at all, was able to eat them both with no problems. Drinking a small glass of super cold apple juice now!! I cant believe how good I feel. I am also sleeping on my sides, I use a body pillow to "cradle" my belly and it is wonderful, I still wake up about 4 or 5 times a night because I just cant roll over to the other side anymore I have to like posititon myself now and I usually just get up out of bed until I feel sleepy again. I cant sleep past 7 in the morning no matter how hard I try and Im taking a nap every day for about 2-3 hours and I'm in bed by no later than 10. ~Nicole Open RNY 3-9-04 24 pounds gone forever!!

SMACK that Michael for me! Tell him it's HIS job to do the grocery shopping for the next few weeks!! Tell him THE QUEEN SAID SO!! Hey, but didn't it feel good to get out for a bit if for nothing but a change of scenery? Now you can just stay in for a bit and relax...take those naps, keep your heating pad where it's needed and HEAL, Nicole. I'm praying for relief and quick recuperation for you.
