8th day post op

Nov 25, 2009

I was so excited when I woke up this morning. I got to have a protein shake. It will seem like a insignificant goal to some but when you are only having water, broth, water, broth etc. It really is exciting to add shakes and have more flavor. I had a BSN, Syntha6 Vanilla shake. I am not supposed to add flavors for another week, but that is okay because this is one of my favorites just by itself. It surprises me when so many people say that they can't find shakes that they like. I guess since I have been having protein shakes for two years now I have worked my way through this. I also am fortunate to have the Vitalady store only an hour away. I went there early on and they will prepare what ever sample for you to try for free. Or you can purchase samples to take home. This is where I found Syntha6. It is so delicious. But there are other kinds that I have found to that are good. I think that some people don't realise that you have to only put a couple ounces of water. The more water you put the more watery the flavor is. There are also tons of things you can add for more flavor. I personally like peanut butter. I recently found PB2 online. I had read others talk about it on the forums so I thought I would try it out. I ordered some and will try it next week. I am sure it will be great.

This morning I woke up when my boyfriend when to work and I wanted to sleep more. I have been sleeping in my recliner since my mattress is on the floor and also I was told this was so much better than doing the bed right off the bat. I was so uncomfortable. Not only because I have an obsessive cat that has to sleep on my chest, but because I can't move around in it very much. So I though I would try it out. It wasn't bad. I don't like sleeping on my back expecially with cats running around I was scared they would run right over me as sometimes they do. I was able to slightly lay on my side and fall asleep. It was nice. I think I will sleep there tonight.
