Overdoing it....

I ended the day yesterday crying hysterically, nauseous, in extreme pain.... It was awful. It was my first day driving... It was TOO SOON. I didn't take my pain killers since I can't drive with them and the tylenol wasn't cutting it by the end of the day. These staples really hurt me... I want them out. I am tired of liquids... and feel weak and nauseous sometimes. I feel like my stomach is ready for soft foods. I did go to my PCP's office yesterday and she listened to my lungs, looked at my incisions, and said everything looks and sounds great. I have lost 22.5 pounds since they weighed me on March 27th. I am hoping to be down more when I see my surgeon next Wednesday. I can't really exercise yet but I do try to walk around as much as possible. I am pleased with how I feel about food though. I went to the movies for the first time the other day... Popcorn is tough for me, I really love it. So much that I used to chew it and spit it out... So There were people eating popcorn behind me, in front of me and beside me... and I didn't want any... That's never happened before to me. I drank my Protein Shot... Which as you know tastes like dirty feet, and I got the 3.8 ounces down... but the taste was still in my mouth. My husband gave me 1 hershey's kiss.... I sucked on it and the deliciousness filled my mouth. I didn't desire another one. I was content. Weird, right?

  4. hang in there sister! This is going to be a journey of ups and downs, but mostly downs (on the scale that is). I hope you are feeling more rested and that those staples come out soon. My incisions are in the itchy stage right now... ugh. I'm enjoying a delicious protein shake for breakfast, again, this morning. I am looking forward to more variety of choices soon too.
    Loves ya!
