Stage III Foods
Apr 26, 2009
Well tomorrow I can start my Stage III Foods. I'm super excited about it and also nervous at the same time. I just don't want to get anything "stuck". On my list of foods is Toast and I've read how people have gotten breads stuck. I also don't want to go over board and start back eating like I did. This is a new me with a new attitude but old habits are hard to break. I need to email my Dietitian to find out how many calories I'm suppose to be having a day. She told me my protein intake and also my water, but not my calorie. Tomorrow I start back to work
but the doctor is only releasing me to Part Time. I'll take it!!! I found myself sitting at home getting depressed. The walls were closing in on me, and I had no one to talk too or no where to go. I have my Blackberry programed to beep when I need to eat and drink, so I'll make sure that I'm always getting my water in. I think it's good that he's allowing me to go back Part Time, this way I can still get in my rest/naps in the afternoon. I mean, it's only been three weeks.I had my follow up appointment with my doctor on Friday morning and I was able to weigh in again and I'm down 2 more pounds. So that's 25 lbs GONE FOREVER!!!!!
This weekend was the first time in 2 years that I was able to wear my clothes that I had tucked in the back of my closet. That's an awesome feeling.
Plus it's nice when people come up to me and say.....You look so good. *smiles*Though this hasn't been all rosy, it has been rewarding, and I thank God daily for giving me this opportunity to have this surgery and to get another shot at my life. A HEALTHY life!
Have a great time!
Grace and Peace,
