A week out

May 04, 2015

I am nearly a week out from my surgery. I am overwhelmed by the desire to eat anything but clear liquids and protein shakes. OK, honestly, I just want anything that's not chicken broth or sweet (jello, freezer pops, etc). Lemon ginger tea has been my absolute life saver.

That being said, I'm feeling better than I expected. I don't have a ton of soreness. I've not even taking anything for pain today because I haven't hurt much. I'm going to start walks tomorrow. I've done little walks, but I've most stuck inside. Tomorrow, I'm going to venture *outdoors*. I'm looking forward to it :D

I've been drinking tons of water. Like 60+ oz/day in addition to the other fluids I'm taking in. I feel kinda swollen. The scale didn't budge today :( But, I'm just gonna add in the walking and keep following the plan. It will all work out. My biggest issues right now are sometimes feeling dizzy and often feeling hungry. I'm hoping that will change somewhat once I can eat something a little more substantial. Until then, I'm just taking it a day at a time.
