Two Weeks Post Op

I had my surgery on Wednesday May 26th. I've done very well following diets, exercising, not stressing stitches or incisions. For the most part I am doing really well. I still have bloating and gas, but I can manage through either of those pretty easily. It will be nice when either or both are gone -- I think I've lost noticeable weight everywhere but my tummy :-)

 

Its hard to get in all the protein. I might go to GNC today and see what they have for low carb high protein mix or shots. I don't like having to eat deli turkey just to get an extra 10 or 15 grams at night.

 

I've gotten my hair colored and I did new makeup at Bobbi Brown yesterday. Treats to myself and doing things I don't usually have time to do.

 

Although I'm doing several hours of work from home the next couple days, I'll be looking forward to going back to work. I'm not used to having free time and its not really that good for me right now?!

 

Meeting with new LA Fitness trainer tonight to go over my new lifestyle. I'm not learning weights yet (too early), but we're going to mix up the cardio. Laughing. I'm a couch potato gone gym rat!

 

Have a great day everybody. Love to all for the wonderful information, support and guidance!

:bored:

Go to Wal-Mart to get the best drink! Yes Wal-Mart! I went through many till I tried Body Fortress Brand, LOW CARB HIGH PROTEIN, 52 grams of protein per drink, or I break one drink into two, one in the morning and one at night, it gives me my sweet fix before I go to bed. Love the Chocolate and Strawberry and you can mix them together, or blend with fresh fruit and ice for a summer slush, delicious! Glad you are doing so well, hang in there we are going on the ride of our lives! Be happy!

Got it! I happen to live in one of the areas where the closest WalMart is 20 miles away, but it will be a nice drive today. I'll get a couple of each -- making shakes sounds so good!

I find myself having to eat a package of Tuna or turkey meat to get the protein in and I have too much sodium intake so that is a great idea, thank you.

I am so excited about this journey! Its 2 1/2 weeks old and I feel more energy and optimism than I've felt in 10 years :-).
