Back at Work

Christine, OUCH, wow you are having one hell of a time with that foot.... But I am glad all is ok with it......How long do you have to leave that splint on for? Food is ok and I have been trying new things, so far the only thing that my pouch did not like was scrambled egg but that was the first week I was home and I think I am going to try them again soon..... I am getting in about 1 1/2 liters a day, needing to do the 2 liters but WOW, I have been drinking all the time... my protein has been in the 50 gram range so I am good there.....taking 2 Centrum a day and 4 viactive for the calcium. I guess I will have to have the blood work done after I go for my 1 month check Jul 14th...... Well take care hun and I am glad your foot is doing ok even thought it has been throug hell.....~hugs~ Debra P

Hi Debra! Glad to hear you're back at work and getting back into the swing of things. Its nice that you are doing 1/2 days. Yes yes, the weekend weather here was humid and sticky also. I live on the water so I do get a little breeze but still for the most part it was HOT. I am excited...my countdown begins....surgery is 2 wks from TODAY! WOO! I can actually say that I am looking forward to starting my week of liquids. -Dee

Dee, Yes I did say I was looking forward to the mushy foods but now after 4 weeks I am going crazy.... well on the 14th I will be on reg food, I am hoping I can have salads then but I am not sure.... Yeah you are sooooo close hun.. It will go really quick for you now hun and then you will be a loser like us..... Take care Debra P

Debra, Please let me know how you do today....Did you bring your food? I have started walking more regularly, but Donna says that it cant be a stroll it has to get my heart rate up, so I need to work on that. My energy level is still low. I know I 'm not getting enough protein. I'm going to try a new shake today, hopefully it will be good. love, Janean

Janean, Hey great pic hun....~hugs~ I was only there for my snack, I had breakfast at home before I left and had a string cheese for break. When I got home I had my lunch, I think I will try and bring my food and stay all day on Wed and see how it goes... Yes I guess the protein really makes a difference but it seems that when I have a shake for breakfast it makes my tummy upset feeling but not that bad. I guess it is all the protein so early in the morning I am not sure. I have added some Soy chips and the string cheese because I was getting bored. They both are great and the both give me added protein, about 7 grams each. How did your shakes go? I have 2 from Champion that I loved before and now they are OK, somedays I can get them down better then others but the stawberry one that I have to science something or other works good. I still hate to take them but know I need the protein since I am back to work. Talk to you soon hun....~Hugs~ Debra P
