I am tired but grateful

I used the narcotic the doc prescribed again last night to sleep comfortably, might try nothing tonight.

 

I made through to 3 o'clock with no liquid motrin - but finally the sporadic gas pains indicated I should give in - why do I need the pain, when a little motrin will help. I will progressively try to wean myself from that too.

 

While I felt better this morning than I have in the last two days, I did take a little nappie this afternoon. I actually did about 3-4 hours work today (on my computer) - I don't think - no, I know - I am not ready to go to work yet...the stairs here are kicking my butt, never mind the added stress and everything else at work - I get enough of that stress sitting here in my recliner.

 

I am lucky because I have insurance, I have a job, never mind a job that allows me some flexibility to go back when I can...I am putting more pressure on me than they are.

 

I am feeling more calm with the fact that now more of my family than I wanted to know, know about my lapband...I feel bad that they feel bad, but it is my life and I make the choice who knows. I had told who I wanted and that was enough - but what is done is done and everybody is done being bothered - including me!

 

I tried protein powder and coffee (not together) for the first time each since the band, so far working well. I like the GNC Lean Muscle Mass protein powder the best - it is best cold, but drinkable when tepid. Raspberry Dunkin Hot Coffee is my coffee of choice - boy is that nice to have today.

 

I am struggling, like most new bandsters, to get enough water, but I am getting a fair amount and I just keep trying.

 

I saw pork chops and they looked remotely interesting...but no way am I trying those for a while - but damn they smelled good.

 

I can fell my stomach starting to churn now and am trying to minimize it...:unsure:and am expecting to reach the "I'm starving" stage, that is so widely reported soon...I will deal with that as it comes.

 

I have not regretted so far, and I don't really see it happening, but we will see, I guess.
