Day 5-6

Took a couple of days off from blogging, time to get back to it..

 

Last couple of days have been nearly the same.. I am disappointedly not making any additional progress in regards to the pain anymore. My unmedicated pain level hovers around 3/10 while laying down to 7/10 while walking. The first few days were encouraging because every day I felt a bit better, unfortunatly thats no longer the case. I am also starting to run low of my medication, so I hope the doctor will represcribe some to help me out.

 

As far as food goes, I have continued with the liquids/mushies. I have been having a protein shake for breakfast, then soup for lunch, for dinner i have had 1-2 poached eggs. So far hunger has only been a minor issue.

 

I have also had sugar free pudding and apple sauce as well when I need a snack..

 

Energy wise I am up and down. Normally when I feel energized I get up and start moving around, unfortunatly it doesnt last long and I quickly crash. I have a feeling it has a lot to do with my low food intake, and is something my body will just need to get used to..

 

Its amazing to think that right now (technically) it has been just about a week from surgery. I would definetly say that I am very satisfied with how the overall week went. I am really looking forward to weighing myself in the morning and taking my weekly shirt off pic. I really cant wait to look back on all these pics and watch the transformation take place! So far the only thing I have personally noticed is that my double chin seems to be receeding a bit. Hopefully next week will be better as I am going to start adding daily excerise to my routine!

I feel the exact same way!!!! It's awful! I just want to feel back to normal. I feel so exhausted after just doing a little bit. I hope you feel better soon.
