One Week Surgiversary!
Well one week ago today I was sitting nervously with my DH waiting to be taken though to the operating room. What a difference a week can make! Today I am feeling great. My energy has returned and I am enjoying being a lot more mobile than I was a few days ago! My incisions are a little tender and I am doing some funny squat like moves rather than bending over them but apart from that I can honestly say I fell good. And I've lost 7 pounds this week too which I am super stoked about! As a so called "lightweight" I expected my loss to be really slow and it took me four days just to loose the water weight from the IV so I am feeling on top of the world! I am managing to get in lots of water and plenty of protein and today I am enjoying my beloved cup of morning coffee too! Thanks so much for all the advice and support from all of you on this forum. I've only told 3 people about having this surgery so you guys really are my lifeline!
Thanks Guys! Your support and encouragment really helps me. And yes I am getting all my protein in most days - my nut only has me on 60gms though so thats probably why. I start my day with a large protein shake (optifast 17gms protein) and add a scoop of my hubbys protein powder (30extra grams) and have it with aroun 500mls water - thats most my protein and 1/4 my water done. It takes me about an hour to fini**** but I just carry it around with me. Its coffee flavoured so really its like having a defrosted frappe! Yum!
