Feeling better on day 6 post op

7/22/07

I feel pretty good today. Lost 2 lbs. from yesterdays weigh in. That felt good. I Keep drinking lots of water, 64 ozs. plus /day as advised by nutritionist. I think that really helps with weight loss.

As for diet I'm still on post op protein drinks. I've been drinking New Direction pudding. It's supposed to be pudding but I blend with ice and cold water and make a really delicious shake. I drink 3/day. I'm still having hunger pangs. Also ate SF Jello that helped some but it was the peanut butter that finally squelched my hunger. I know I shouldn't be eating any solid food now but I don't consider it a solid. Well anyway no harm done. 1 Tbsp. won't kill me.

I sure hope I will get to eat something soon. I don't want much-- just something to stop hunger pangs.

DH and I walked the dogs in the riverbed so they could run off leash. It was humid and started to sprinkle. We didn't mind, it was such a nice afternoon. The clouds made for a really pretty magenta sunset. We walked about 7 miles. I was a little hesitant to venture more than a couple of miles... but I did fine. Knees started to ache a bit. I'll sure be glad when I drop some more weight. My knees are looking forward to it.

Until next time you all take care. Good night.:usa2:
