Well.. i figured that I would start blogging every day, but as you can see I haven't. I thought I would use the time off to do constructive things.. like work on Jewelry, or read, read read. I have been doing reading, but not like I thought I would. As for working on jewelry, I haven't really don't that at all. Why is it when you have the time to do the things you don't usually have time for, you no longer want to do any of it.
Being off has been okay, but honestly, I don't know what I will do when I retire. I enjoy my job, so that is definately a plus, but I know that I will just go crazy if I don't have something to do every day.
I did take a few days and went to visit my aunt. My mom and I went, as I haven't been there in such a long time, and since I had some time off, and my Mom is retired... then we could go visit her. I went with the intention of making some cards. She has a room dedicated to stamping, so she has all the tools. I took down some paper and voila! we made cards. I enjoyed myself, spending time with her and my Mom. But today is back to life. I have a doc appt tomorrow and can't wait to see how much weight I have lost.
I told myself that I wasn't going to be getting on the scale all the time, and I did, at first, but now I haven't been on it. I do have to get on it tomorrow after my doc's appt to see how much difference between my scale at home and the doctors. I want to be able to use the difference when I weigh myself at home.
I have been doing okay since my last visit with the doc. The scars from the laproscope is healing. Last week they were itching like mad.. but they are much better. Each day gets better and better. I did have a fever on Saturday, but I think it was viral and it only lasted a day. I woke up with a sore throat on one side. That has totally gone away. I didn't feel well yesterday and ended up taking a nap for almost three hours, but I think it was I kinda overdid it...
The diet of pureed food sucks. I have eaten some things that were not pureed, but at chewed, and chewed them till they were pureed.. I am having trouble with the not drinking while eating. All my life I have always had something to drink while eating. I chew my food, and mostly use the drink to get it down to my stomach. so I only use a sip.. enough to wet my food, thus helping to swollow it. I know I am weird.... I really haven't had much problem. I have eaten chicken breast... but made sure that I cut it in tiny pieces and also made sure that I chewed it really well. I am taking all my vitamins and medications (can I just say that I can't stand the med to prevent gallstones?) i am having trouble getting all of my calcium in.. but am making an effort to really try. I think once I get back to work and on a schedule... I will do much better.
My clothes are getting looser.. and will soon have to take some of my pants in as I don't want to just get rid of them, just yet. I still have some wear in them... I do have some clothes that were too tight... so I will be able to fit into them... but will have to buy some things. I think I might get some t-shirts to wear under sweaters.... things I can layer... but that will be one of the positive things in this journey...
so for now...see you lighter
