I'm loving the new tool. I do have a few concerns, I'm not eating much, I'm struggling to get my protein in, and working hard on drinking enough water - its tough!

 

I just cannot eat more without getting sick! This morning, I made an 8 oz protein shake, could only drink 1/2 - I was about to vomit even thinking about drinking more - protein taken in about 10!

 

My menu yesterday -

 

Bfast

1 fried egg with cheese - ate about 3/4

lunch

1/2 cup of cottage cheese

dinner

1/2 cup of refried beans (these seem to work best for me)

 

Exercise needs to pick up for me. I've been slacking on my walking.

 

My goals for the rest of the week

1) Focus on getting my water in

2) Increase my walking - make it a priority

3) Work on my protein!

 

PS - another NSV - good-bye to my size 18's forever, they are just too big now, and hello to my comfortable 16's! I am wearing a pair of 16 jeans today that look darn good on me, I feel very slim & sexy in them. I haven't worn them in a while - probably 2 years? DH also can't keep his hands off me either, he keeps telling me how good I look. I love the new me! My kids keep telling us "get a room" LOL.

I'm three days out from surgery, and I'm really struggling finding things to eat on my "thick liquid" diet. Jello and Cream soups make me literally gag, yogurt and smoothies are too sweet. Any ideas?

Also, I'm having some pain under the incision closest to my ribs, is that normal? I have been coughing alot. Can that dislodge anything?:confused2:
