I can't believe a week has gone by since my last post! Life got busy! My sister came to town, I had my 2 week checkup appointment, and we have been living in a sauna!! Wow, this heatwave can slow things down.
I feel great! I am not really losing any weight right now but I am bringing my eating and drinking back online, my sugars are improving, and my potassium was tested yesterday and is up to 3.9!! I don't remember ever being that high! Anyway, major goal accomplished.
This week, I am beginning the exercise routine. Lots of walking and a few weights right now are all I plan to start with. I refuse to go out in this heat so the basement will become the gym for a few more days!
I am exhausted but it is a good kind of exhausted because I am able to stay awake (except for a small cat nap in the afternoons) and get a good amount of stuff done. I got to see my nutritionist yesterday and I now get to eat all liquids AND things like cottage cheese, cream soups, mushy veggies, refried beans and puddings, crackers, and mashed potatoes. I am working on eating 6 small meals (2-3 hours apart) and getting in 60 or more grams of protein. It is a lot of eating! But I am doing it and managing to get my 64 ounces of water in too! Yay for surgery recovery.
Well, it's off to bed. Tomorrow Stan gets to sleep in so I will sneak out and do some grocery shopping before the stores get busy.
Make it a great day!
Blessings,
Heidi
