Post-op week 3
This week has been a little rough! I was able to start phase 3 of food, soft foods. I ate a little Thanksgiving foods which was nice to be able to join in with the family. But for the most part, I have stuck with phase 2 foods-protein shakes and yogurt and soups. For the soups, I have not strained them so have gotten some meat and veggies in those. I feel like I add protein powder to EVERYTHING! I add it to the soup, to my yogurt, my applesauce. I am actually indulging in some applesauce right now without added protein and I feel guilty.
I am supposed to be at 60-80 grams of protein per day and 64 ounces of liquids. I typically hit about 50 of each most days. It’s hard. Sometimes I just want to eat and satisfy my mouth but my body says nope!
I added in my vitamins this week and a few extra I take on my own for prevention. I swear it takes me literally all morning to get the pills in.
I also started coming back into the office for work this week. That’s been rough. I haven’t slept well all week. I keep waking up around 4 am and can’t get back to sleep. Yesterday I drove home in the dark and was home
before 6pm. I was so tired I literally could have gone straight to bed and I felt like it was midnight.
My doctor wanted me to a start adding two daily exercise sessions. 30 minute walks and/or 20 minute spin sessions as I told her I have a spin bike. I got a couple of each in here and there but haven’t been close to once daily let alone twice daily.
My weight is dropping a bit slower than I expected. But I can’t really complain with 13 pounds in three weeks when I look at it that way.
Still no regrets! I’m only three weeks in and have a lifetime to go!
