Getting into it

Mar 19, 2010

I'm thrilled!!!!   I actually got in all 60 grams of protein yesterday - woo hoo!!!   I knew I could it.  Now I hope to have a repeat of that and get in all my water.  I was short 16 ounces yesterday.  I am up to 20 minutes on the treadmill so I'm hoping that moves up to the 30 minutes.  I did have to call the surgeon yesterday because of the pain I was having.  They prescribed another pain medication so I'm alternating every three hours between two different meds and that seemed to work great yesterday.  I can't wait to be completely off it though so I'm not feeling so tired all the time.  I think that is part of the problem of getting in all the protein and water, I'm sleeping so much of the day.  I also find that my back is getting sore from laying on it (I typically sleep on my side).  I haven't felt comfortable enough to sleep on my side yet so that will be a nice relief as well.  I haven't seen any weight loss yet but I'm sure its a matter of getting through the healing process and finally getting in enough nutrients.
