1 week out from surgery

Dec 17, 2009

So, did I go to the gym yet?  No, but I did walk out on the snow packed sidewalk for a little while.  And, spent time hanging pictures; climbing up and down was a bit uncomfortable - still an incision site that "sharply pulls" on occasion.  Only 7 more days of liquids, yes, I just need to keep telling myself I can do it!! 
I can actually sit and forget I had surgery now, for a little while at a time - while I have some computing, typing, reading to do.  That is nice.  It becomes all consuming (oh, don't use that word consuming).  Not really hungry, my taste buds are just bored.  And I'm actually getting very tired of the protein shakes to the point I felt a bit nauseous with the last one.  I think I just need to limit them to about 3-4 per day (which is still about 60-80 grams protein) rather than shoot for the 5 my nut recommends.  I just can't take that many without getting queasy.  I can take up to 90 ounces of fluid/day now and that is great.  Hm, warmed up cider and tea are my favorite.  Cream soups are some added nutrition.
