Chugging Along.....

Oct 15, 2009

Well, today was day 11 post op for me.  I am doing really well.  I had a tablespoon of baked potato with fat free cheddar on it today for lunch.  It was so good.  I am living on popsicles.  I love the sugar free ones!  I know I need to kick up the fluid intake more.  It is just really hard to for me.  I am having about 2 protein shakes a day.  I am getting to where if they are not REALLY COLD, I am having a time getting them down.  They are starting to smell like baby formula to me!  I will be so glad when I can eat more protein . 

Yesterday was my first emotional day.  I seemed to be on the verge of tears most of the day.  I can't really explain it.  I know I am going to have to have my hormones checked again.  My meds will probably have to be adjusted. 

I have not weighted since Friday after surgery.  I am trying really hard to stay off the scales until I go for my follow up on the 27th of October.  I want to be surprised.  I hope I am not disappointed in my progress.  I am afraid of messing this up.  It has been rainy here almost EVERYDAY since surgery.  I have been waling here in the house, but I know it is not the same.  I am going for my first real outing tomorrow.  My oldest son, Eric, who is 19 and my youngest son, Haden, who is 7, are going to the mall with me.  WE have a few things we need to pick up.  I need to get a few groceries too.  So, that will be a lot of activity for me tomorrow!  I will probably be ZONKED tomorrow evening! 

I hope I am doing everything the way I am suppose to and am making progress like I should. 

Good Luck to all of you!
