Good Morning Everyone!

Congratulations on the plastics, Cynthia!!!

QOTD:  Don't eat while watching TV, reading or being on the computer.  Put your fork down between each bite.  Use a baby spoon.  Savor each bite.  (I sometimes close my eyes while eating something yummy to savor it).  Mindfulness!  (I used to wolf food down and not even realize that I had eaten it!)

What I ate yesterday:  Clif protein bar, 2 string cheese sticks, Mr. Cheese O's, a hamburger (dense protein - stayed down!) and a Clif protein bar.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

Good Morning all. I have been on such a rolloer coaster ride. I started to feel ill the friday before last but my 20 year high school reunion was that weekend so I convinced myself it was just constipation, but by that Sunday I was having trouble moving around so to the ER I went. I had indeed come down with another nasty diverticulitis infection. I have to start doing better with my fiber. So I go the spend the early part of last week in the hospital and I'm slowly starting to feel better, though I think I may have overdone it with a burger last night and am a little sore today, back to mushies today. Anyway, just a reminder that this surgery isn't a mgic fix for all of my pre-existing health problems. I am having a little trouble on the no-residue diet for the next two weeks until I can add fiber back in. All the recommendations are carby and making my brain nuts. 

So excited for your surgery, I cannot wait til I get to that point. 11 months to go about.

QOTD: I lost a decent amount of weight my last year of college by sticking to a high protein diet and that pretty much is my life now as well. 

Time Since Surgery: 7 Months

B: Double Scoop Unjury Shake

S: Tuna with some saltines

L: maybe beef stoganoff in the cafeteria or shrimp depends on what looks best

D: Plain Chicken Wings

S: Cheese with a few crackers

The infection did make that scale move though. 160!!!!! (After the IV fluids drained)

Feel better and take care of yourself.

I've had diverticulitis before and it is no fun! Take care of yourself for sure!
