Another Day

Well, yet another day of my new life and I'm surviving. It's hard but every day is a new day. I've realized that I really need to start eating more protien. I've been eating too many carbs. Will be updating my weight in a couple weeks. Tuesday will be 3 weeks. Seems like longer, but only 1 week and 4 days until I can eat normal food.

2 Weeks Post-Op

Well, I'm two weeks out and down 17lbs. I was hoping for a little more, but I guess that's pretty good when you think about it. We made it through Christmas. So many temptations and I can't eat anything. Just mush! We had lassagna and garlic bread and homemade peach cobbler. I did lick a little of the cobbler it was so good! I had the lassagna in small small bites but without meat so it didn't taste as good. I went shopping today and got a lot of bargains. Anyways, going to go for now, will follow up soon!

Another Day

Well, according to my scale I'm down to 281.5 as of this morning with clothes. I've been doing pretty good. The eating is just so hard mentally. Knowing I can only have things that are smushed up! I want a burger or a pizza! I know with time this will go away. Healing pretty good. Still a little soar. My back is hurting more than anything but that seems to be letting up too. Will follow up again soon

Tomorrow Will Be 1 Week

Well, hard to believe tomorrow it will already be 1 week after surgery. I go for my appointment at 2. Hopefully everything is OK. I'm still sore, not using the pain meds though. The eating just sucks and is so hard but I'm managing. I'm just craving everything I can't have. Will check-in tomorrow with my weight and progress! :)

3 Days Post-Op

Well, the day has come and gone. I had the surgery on Tuesday and came home yesterday. I'm hurting a lot. Mainly when I get up and sit and when I cough. OMG that hurts. I didn't have the best experience. I lost a lot of blood so they had to give me 2 pints Tuesday night. Then I got poked for a blood check like every 4 hours for the next day. Anyways, I'm home and doing pretty good. Will try to follow up daily or every other. I want to keep up my "thoughts".

3 Days to Go

It's almost time. Just 3 days left. I've been feeling a little nautious today and I think maybe it's just nerves. It's starting to hit that I'm having major surgery Tuesday. I'm trying to keep my mind off of it, but that's easier said than done. I'm going to get a facial at 2, so I'm fixing to head up to get dressed. Just trying to get the Christmas cards finished up. Printing pictures as we speak. Will probably post tonight! :)
