I think I over did it this weekend



Recommended Posts

My dh and I worked all weekend around the house, mainly outside. We weeded the landscaping, planted new flowers, put in all new mulch, cut & swept the grass, cleaned off the porches, & cleaned the pool. Not to mention we had a football game on Saturday & I cleaned a little & did some laundry.

I am exhausted today. My whole body is sore. I'm pretty sure I didn't drink or eat enough while we were working. Since I don't feel hungry that often anymore, I sometimes forget to eat if I'm busy. I didn't drink my entire Protein Shake each morning like I should have & I didn't drink enough Water throughout the day. I had to stop working yesterday afternoon because I became very dizzy. DH bought me some G2 Gatorade & that made me feel a bit better as did eating a little.

I think I'd feel much better if we were almost done, but we're not. Our garage is so full of junk I can't get my van in there anymore. Our upstairs is still cluttered & need cleaned out. We still have some painting to do. UGH! I don't want to think about it anymore! :sad0:

The good news is that the realtor is coming by today to get our file & get our house listed on the market. I am praying it sells relatively quickly & close to our asking price.

I over did it as well. I wish I could say that I over did it with work, but I over did it with junk food. Cookies to be exact. I just decided to take a break from it all and ate an entire bag of cookies. they were mint choc. like the girl scout cookies. I decided to eat the whole bag in one day rather than drag it out. They are gone now and it's back to the ol routine. I gained 2 lbs which I didn't think was that much for an entire bag of cookies. I think it's because I have been really sick. I can't exercise because I feel like cr@p and all I have been doing is laying around . I go to the dr. tomorrow. I am really sick of being sick.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
