Today is a good day

I woke up this morning on the emotional roller coaster. I had some really bad feelings when I was in Mexico for my surgery about the aftercare that was provided. As you may know, I'm a nurse so I can of course be a bit critical about medical issues. I am really so angry at myself for being so careless with my life. I could be dead right now if what happened to Caveman had happened to me.Anyway, I was feeling a little down this morning but decided that I would try to do what I was supposed to do. I am happy to report that I have already consumed 30gms of protein and taken the dogs for almost a mile walk. I had 8oz fat free chocolate milk with a scoop of protein for breakfast. It took almost an hour to get down. I had 4oz cottage cheese with crushed pineapple for lunch and I'm trying hard to get my water in. Now, I should tell you that I have always been DISGUSTED by cottage cheese! I'm pleasantly surprised that I can tolerate it and I may decide that I like it.
I go back to work tonight. I was supposed to work three 12 hr shifts tonight but got a doctor's note to work three 8 hr shifts instead. I'm going to see how it goes. I may be able to finish the whole shift but I'm still having a lot of incisional pain on my upper left side. Either way, I'm excited to get going with my life again. Hopefully, I'll get busy and just lose the weight without even realizing it. I'll just wake up one day and look in the mirror and be like, "hey, when did that happen"?
Ok, that's all for now. Going to drink some more water and take a little napper. :)
