One week out
Apr 21, 2011
Today I drove to Baltimore (1.5 hrs each way) to have my follow-up with my surgeon. She seems to think I'm doing well and just recommended that I keep up with the protein intake. I told her my plan of adding protein to pudding & soups to up the ease of intake. She's also impressed with how much weight I'd lost in a short time and lost some inches on waist & hips! I'll be clear for soft/pureed foods next week. Still not allowed to swim or lift weights >15lbs for the next 6 weeks. I follow up with her again in the end of May.Whew! I am spent! Between the drive, a quick trip to the organic market in Olney (i'd been eyeing that place for the past several times driving & just had to see what they had. Not much better than Whole Foods & that's alot closer to home.), and shopping at Kohls..... had to do that place today b/c my $10 coupons are going to run out soon. I got a pair of yoga pants in 1x for $5, a pair of brown pants in 16P for $13 and a pair of black pants in 18P for $12. Of course I didn't try them on b/c they wouldn't fit just yet but I imagine they will in the next month or so. It's so nice to buy in the petites section - won't have to alter the hems!!
I didn't take in enough water or protein during the massive-ass commuting this morning, so not feeling too great, but trying to catch up. It's almost 4p and I've gotten 35g protein down and 60oz water. So, halfway there.
Tried mixing the unflavored Unjury with s/f cheesecake pudding. Ugh! That was gross. Thank god my Unjury chicken soup container just arrived.... Also got a bottle of orange BA vitamins and some BA calcium chews in chocolate. May have to switch up to Celebrate - they just seem to taste better. Also made a batch of s/f chocolate fudge pudding with my Cytomax whey protein in chocolate. And that is GOOD!! Chocolate overload but not gross, not too sweet or funky tasting.
Well, I get to rest for like the next hour then gotta pick up the DH. I'll be glad to give him back the car tomorrow and not bother about driving for a while again.....
