    i was honestly so tired that i just slept the 3 days, and when i wasnt sleeping i was going potty or walking lol

    when i first woke up i didnt want to be in the gown anymore so i had my mom help me and put on pants and tshirt... just so i was not worried about a boob popping out or etc. it didnt rub or hurt any.

    i also put my hair in a braid because you are not going to want to worry about your hair the time you are there... it was so nice cause i got to take a shower and not worry about my hair too.

    i took a blanket that smelled like home, just to make me feell a little better those blankets are rough at the hospital

    slippers or flipflops

    i took little bags of goodies to give my nurses too, they did such a amazing job on me and i wanted to be sure to thank them... gum, candy, pens etc just fun little thanks for all you did for me

    i went to the store to get some chicken to make more salad and etc and found a total score!!!!

    wanted to let people know who are looking for that EXTRA bit of protein... just found at Walmart last night... in the frozen section butterball, turkey burgers...

    calories 240

    total fat 11 g

    sugar 1g

    Protein 31 g

    i could only eat just about half (im four weeks out) i took that last bite of the half i was eating and the dog got the bite... i was too full and didnt want to over fill myself.

    it was not aweful... i put cheese on the top and some sweet onion dressing i have and i was happy and full! brought the other half for lunch today at work!!!

    love finding things that have so much GOOD protein in it! i am a single girl that lives alone... so anything i make is in SMALL quanties!!!

    hey there i am 4 weeks post op, i started the gym on week 2, just doing the tredmill and eliptical... about 2 miles a day on one or the other, just at a slow walk pace

    i had my first softball game at 3 weeks and had no issues

    i started doing the stair climber yesterday, and let me tell you I LOVE IT! i was seriously sweating my butt off after 5 min of this... i jumped off and was like so winded... walked around a bit to catch my breath and came back and did 3 min of stedy up stair movement, jumped off again and did this for about 5 times total and i was so pooped!!! i felt great tho.

    tonight i am going to see about doing some weights and tummy inbetween

    there is a lady weight room and i may come in and out... the guys there i am trying to get friendly with but its like i am a new kid on the block cant jump in the middle lol

    right!!!!! haha that is funny!

    i am on normal food now, but i am still trying to get Soup in with Protein for dinner just so that i can get that extra added scoop in there... its funny but its totally true, this morning on the way to work i ate a Breakfast egg thing i found with alot of protein and i just got flustered because it was tiny (in my old fat girl mind) but 2 bites in i was like i am so done... which is nice but i just felt so wastefull... lucky i forgot something and had to go back home... my dogs enjoyed my leftovers. dang dogs are going to gain what i loose hahahahahaha

    So I just wanted to let anyone know that may need that extra Protein throughout the day....

    I have been trying to think of great ways to get the most of Protein and many ways.... Drops in the Water, Protein Bars etc.... And I thought I wonder if they had a flavorless kind.... So I walked into GNC and bam they have 100% whey protein flavorless!!! I only got a small package due to being unsure if it would actually be flavorless... So tonight I tried it and not one flavor!!! I put one scoop in a half cup of Soup and bing bang boom best Soup, with added protein I needed.

    I googled a lot and see you can add to yogurt, soup, potatoes, chili etc....
