I'm feeling extremely tired today. My mom left this morning to go back home, so maybe it's just that combined with my body recovering. I'm having a really hard time with my Protein. I just hate the Protein Shakes so much. I'm just kind of blah today. Tomorrow will be better.

My hubby and I are having a lazy morning at the hotel today. I am feeling very well and I have been able to get more liquids in everyday. We will take a walk on Mission Beach later this afternoon and then go to a Peruvian restaurant that my husband wants to try.

How many calories has everyone been getting in daily? Yesterday I was at 298. I am not sure what is normal for this first week or even aid it should matter. I am logging everything in My Fittness Pal, but since everything is a liquid I'm not sure if I should just add everything up and add it under Water also?

I am only taking my thyroid med, antibiotics, antiacid, and Tylenol before bed. No diabetes medicine since day 2 after surgery!!

I hope everyone has a good day!! Headed home tomorrow morning on a 5.5 hour flight. Looking forward to being in my own bed.

I'm happy for the no meds for diabetes!!! That's awesome hon. I also have no idea on calories. My doc/nut don't do calorie based. They want us to learn to listen to our bodies and of course make the good choices in what we eat.

I've had a blah day diet wise today too. I really want some good tasting broth but have yet to find any. The hospital broth was the best I've had so far. Funny huh?

I don't like mashed potatoes, but if I could, I'd eat mashed potatoes now!!! lol. The craving to eat has been pretty hard today. I keep telling myself, just one more day, then I get to have cream of wheat, refried Beans, fish, shrimp, and good creamy Soup. Can't wait!!!

You can do it!!! 😉

So, a friend swung by to visit me today. First thing she says is "your face is getting slimmer". I say "seriously, really?" It hasn't been that long at all! But for someone who hasn't seen me for a couple of weeks, I'll take that compliment. 😊
