and now it is done!

Feb 15, 2011

finally, it's done. i am home, moving around, drinking liquids, and avoiding picking up my son - he drives a hard bargain i have to say - he makes it hard, but i keep showing my bo-bo, and telling him i can't do it. he had a nightmare tonight and it was very difficult not to pick him up, but he's nearly 40 pounds and way too heavy for me. i had my 17 year old pick him up and put him on my lap in the rocking chair.  it didn't really appease him, but it had to do.

anyway, julianna is having her surgery in 2 weeks and i'm not sure what we're gonna do after that - the 2 teenagers are really going to have to step up to the plate during that time period.

i feel pretty good - not hungry and i am finding myself forcing myself to drink. i was confused by the dr when i left the hospital. i know that i heard him say clear liquids for the first 2 weeks. when i got home and started to talk to people who were in my class, i became concerned i wasn't having any protein. i checked with julianna who was with me when the surgeon told me that, and she agreed with me. but i finally called the dr, and he told me it was all liquids. i'm glad, because clear liquids are BORING! lol

so today i had 3 of the nectar shakes (chocolate truffle) only mixed with 4 oz's of h2o each, that was 23g protein each shake. i had cream of mushroom soup twice today, and probably 34 oz of h2o, plus a couple of ice pops and a jello. i'm not sure, is that too much, too little, just right? who the heck knows?

i did manage to walk a mile yesterday and today and stuck to 2.6 mph so as not to over-do it. i usually go 3.0 mph, but i thought that would be too much. anything under 2.6 felt like i was going backwards.

i am really looking forward to the is weight loss thing. i am in the 230's for the first time in a very long time already and i can't wait till the 220's.
