protein, protein and more protein

blogs/blog-0477700001372277365.jpgI'm into week 3 and I'm 21 lbs down since surgery 40 since my heaviest. Eating less than 1/4 of a cup of food at meals, which doesn't amount to many calories, so still struggling with fatigue. BUT - I am walking a mile now in my 30 minutes of required daily walking. (PITIFUL, I know, since I used to jog 3 miles in 45 minutes.)

 

So I called the nurse to ask when I can swallow pills again and found out I have 3 more weeks of the nasty liquid/chewable crap. She shared with me that I really HAVE to get the 60 grams of protein in a day OR ELSE my hair will start falling out. So now I'm serious. Back to the gross protein drinks.

 

Thinking about going to Goodwill to find some shorts since mine are about to fall off. HOORAY!

 

My belly STILL looks like a train wreck, but oh well, I'll not be wearing a bikini anytime soon.

 

And I think I might have found a shoulder under all my vanishing fat! :)

 

Looking forward to finding a WAIST eventually.

I can't wait to find my hipbones again - 3 weeks out, you're doing fine. Remember, you had major surgery and now have serious calorie restriction. 1st you heal, and then you can beat yourself up for not jogging, or running a marathon.
