3 days post op and the 4th of July

Jul 04, 2009

So am I am still doing well, least I think so.  It is really weird to step on the scale and have lost 2lbs a day for the last 3 days.  It is unreal really.  I still am having gas pain issues.  I get dizzy from the liquid vicodin.  I can see why people become drug addicts after surgery, that stuff works quick and easy, like within 5 mins of taking it.  I am glad I hate the feeling. 

I got down an entire protein shake today, 10ozs with 2 scoops for a total of 50 grams of protein...this makes me proud.  It makes me feel very bloated for about 20 mins after each session (I do 5 oz over an hour, wait and do the other 5oz).  I also took a walk and went to the parade with my children.  I skipped a dance performance my daughter should have had today because of too far and too many people.  I went to a BBQ at my parents and ate some yogurt while they all had BBQ chicken, macaroni salad, corn on the cob, then ice cream.  Really the only think that bothered me was I wanted moms macaroni salad more then anything!!!  Weird I know. 

So I think I am going to skip fireworks tonight and just hang out.  I think it is time for more medicine but not looking forward to it.  Total of 8lbs since surgery gone forever!!!
