The one thing that work has helped a lot with this week is keeping on a schedule. I was having difficulty staying on a set schedule when I was off. The first two weeks, I was exhausted. I was sleeping or napping constantly. The third and fourth weeks were okay, but still had an off day or two with fluids or protein. This week I've managed to get all vitamins in and all fluids/protein in every day. Another goal met! I also had another small victory this week. I went to my second post-op appointment yesterday and I am down about 26 pounds and have lost 5 inches from my waist. Ecstatic!!! My weight had stalled a bit during the 3rd-4th week and this week I managed to somehow lose 4lbs. It definitely makes me want to stay motivated and positive! I also had a birthday last weekend. My mom bought me some new scrubs for work as a gift, and they are a size smaller. I also got the ok from my nutritionist to nix the protein shakes. Finally! I'm allowed to have one every now and then but he wants me to try and get all my protein from food intake. So far, so good. I don't know if I've recommended this to you guys or not, but you should try the Calcet Creamy Bites as your calcium citrate supplement..they are so good! I've tried both flavors and its like having a little treat or dessert. Its easier to get the vitamins in when they are tasty.
I'm glad to get this weekend started. I plan on doing a whole lot of nothing.
