Hi Dawn and everyone else that signs or looks in later.  I was doing the Lean Muscle Protein Meal from GNC before surgery.  I was unable to exercise so I did not drink it.  Got the ok from the ps that I can start exercising again.  I go back to see him in a month.  He said my arms are looking good.  They are still swollen but I am happy to have improved arms.  My arms are not small now nor will they be when all is said and done, but even swollen they are smaller than they ever were.  Enough said.

Today's plan:

Breakfast - 1 quart of Powerade Zero

Lunch - Chicken salad and Triscuit -Rosemary Olive Oil Crackers

Snack - Soy Joy Mango/Coconut bar

Dinner - Lean Muscle Meal

Snack - 1/2 cup dry roasted peanuts

Liquids - 1 qt Powerade Zero, 4 (20 oz) bottles of Crystal Light

Exercise:  did not do any

Snack - apple and 1tsp peanut butter

I will edit anything that I don't do.  I'm trying to plan ahead for the good.  That's all.   Z

B- whole wheat waffle and spray butter and SF syrup

L- 2 small tomatoes with salt

D- Hamburgers on the grill with sliced tomatoes and onions to dress the hamburger on the plate and some beans for total protein meal

S before bed 1/2 cup of SF FF cherry cordial ice cream


Water intake so far
2 16oz bottles of water with grape fitness to go
so far that is what I have drank.

Yeah Z!  Did you take measurement prior to surgery so you can compare them once the swelling is gone??  I'm very interested in the whole PS thing.  Please do keep us posted!

I had the opportunity to get a fill today instead of next week (they called me @ 5:30 last night) and I jumped in it!!  So after my breakfast entry I'm on fluids for the rest of the night.  Tomorrow I'll bump up to puree and soft.  Even though Larson tells his patients to go back to solids in the AM I just can't do it without being nervous!!
