I'm Home updated

Well everybody, I'm home and everything went fine.  I will post more later.

Hi Everybody.  As you see I'm home, surgery went fine, I was good and hydrated, pain meds have pain under control etc..  Everybody treated me very well at the hospital, did a lot of walking and sleeping.  

Today when I was getting ready to go, I had a bit of a panic attack.  The fear of going home, the thought of making sure I get all my water, protein and walking in.  but we worked through that. But I'm on the low side of my water and it is 3 pm already   and I'm tired.  And HOW am I to get in 750 cals?  I know my protein drinks have some of those cals, but really.

I know I'm rambling, I'm sorry about it.  But over all things went great, I just don't want to get dehydrated!!!

HI Stacey! Glad you're home! Take it very easy while keeping up with your walking and drinking! You'll be feeling better soon - I promise!

 

Stacy...

Welcome Home... I know you will do great...  I took me a while to get in 750 calories a day.. just take it one meal at time... I know for the first week or so... it was about... drinking water... waiting to eat... eating.... waiting to drink....then I started the whole process over again... and walked whenever I could.

Welcome to the losers bench!!!

Hey there don't worry so much about the cals, worry about liquids.  Remember SF popcicles count!!

Glad you are home you will be fine!

Yup, what Jillian said. I didn't bother about the calories... just making sure I take my vitamins, liquids and proteins... after 3 or 4 weeks it'll be much easier and pretty soon it's ingrained into the daily routine that I don't give a 2nd thought about it.
