DAY 5 - FLUIDS PHASE

Aug 08, 2017

Hi - it's me MJ!  Yesterday, I walked farther than I have so far.  I was a woman on a mission to get my darling BF's son a gift card from Tim Horton's.  That felt good.  I also stopped using my medicine cups.  I posted on the forum to see if that was too soon.  My last steri strips came off that was cool.  I have now showered every day since I was able to.  It is nice to be clean and fresh!  

I hate the fluids phase.  There I said it.  It takes too long and it is a bit fussy. I'd rather be back on Opti!  I had sex for the first time after surgery it was amazing.  I have missed my guy and we watched an old movie called Stealing Beauty - got us in the mood!  I love our time together.  My friend Candace came home from the hospital yesterday! I am so happy for her but really hope that she is going to bounce back from her set back.  

I thought about work today and how my colleagues are going to have a Monday on a Tuesday.  I am not sure about work in the traditional sense anymore and I am looking at a few options.  I am excited about the turn my life will take once I am clear headed and lean.  

I cheated and weighed myself today.  At first, I said I would only weigh in when I started a new stage, then I said okay maybe every Wednesday.  But I wanted to weigh today because my family is coming over and I wanted to give them results.  I am down 20 lbs! from Pre-Op.  This is very exciting to me!  

I woke up late today. I slept on the couch, best sleep I have gotten in a few days.  I am behind a little so I am going to run!  I hope you all have an even BETTER day today!
