Yeah, it's that day again!!  It snuck on me as it's been such busy week - yippee!! 

Last night I got up for the bathroom twice!!  The night before I didn't get up - WTH??  I guess I drank a lot.  Tonight I'll be happy if it's just the once... if my teenage self could hear what I just said, it'd shudder!! 

LOL.   It looks like you are back to your great Protein total!!!

Today I have tons of errands to run that are close together. I'm probably pushing my stamina so wish me luck!

b-jay Robb protein plus almond milk -27g

s-none. Didn't feel like eating. Drank water. 

l-bean soup plus half packet gross unjury-13.7g

s- protein shake after I get home and hopefully have some samples!

d-soup plus unflavored protein 

s-SF jello or SF Popsicle. 

Plenty of walking and driving considering my state two days ago! Last night lots too!

One incision is the devil. But I consumed 115g of protein and went to three stores! I didn't even nap but I will get to bed early I hope. 

Don't wear yourself out!  I remember feeling really good after I got my gall bladder out and I completely over did it and then it back fired on my and I was so miserable.

Sounds Like a good Protein Day!!!  Did you drink the shakes when you had the band?  I can't remember.

I did drink shakes but my surgeon didn't approve. I always weighed less on them so shows you what he knows about weight management.  :-) luckily for 4 weeks this is my only option, and always for breakfast, for me. 

Breakfast: Muscle milk consumed over most of the morning, 1 glass of water and vitamins

Lunch: onto a second muscle milk and vitamins. 

Dinner: more water, vitamins, and protein. I think I'm going to make some protein broth, I have some unjury chicken broth that they gave me at the hospital to try. 

Congrats on your Surgery!!!  How are you feeling? 

Thanks Roz! I'm feeling pretty good. I am surprised by the pain, in a good way. I thought it would be significantly worse, but it really isn't bad at all. That first night I was just not myself and had a panic attack in the hospital (they were asking me what I take for panic attacks and I had nothing to tell them because I don't get panic attacks!), felt like I couldn't breathe had ruined my life and all kinds of foolishness. I think it was the lingering influence of the anathesia. I feel 100% better now. I've been moving around a lot and even though there is limitation there isn't nearly as much as I thought there would be. My mom is visiting me to help out and keeps telling me to slow down! 

I've heard this happening to quite a few people right after surgery so you aren't alone. I don't have panic attacks or depression but the first week after surgery it all hit me at once.  At my 1 week appt. my Surgeon was stunned at what a wreck I was.  He said he never seen anyone as calm  as me the day of surgery.  I didn't have a care in the world.
