Been a long week.

Its been a long week without much to say. On the eating front I've found I am still dealing with eating too fast and trying to slow down. Getting meats moist enough messed me up a couple meals this week. On the positive side still haven't found anything I can't tolerate and enjoyed a fajita dinner at home last night with family. I ate the chicken mixed with a little refried beans and a dab of cheese. nibbled on green beans, tomato cubes, olive slices and a little avacado. Even ate 1 1x1 inch chip slowly. No tortillas but after reading the package on the flour tortillas I don't think I'll ever be eating them again! 250 calories a piece and lots of fat. 5 grams of protein at least.
Looking forward to getting the gym/workout ok next week. Haven't been walking as much as I should but more than last week.
In the weight department I've lost 4 more pounds since last Friday. Still going up and down all week but I guess the downs are winning. Still dealing with the constipation issues and am eatng prunes to see if that helps.
I went to my first post op support group meeting on Tuesday. They had some good suggestions. Most there are several years out from surgery.
Goal for this week is to walk walk walk and sip sip sip.
Wish I could say I've had a great week with lots of revelations but I think this is going to be the norm for me, just plugging along.
So to sum it up here are 5 good things from this week.

1. took on att and won.
2. All my new plants are still alive!
3. packed up 2 shirts and a pair of pants - too big.
4. only took Blood Pressure meds 1 day.
5. Lost 4 pounds for a total of 20 pounds since surgery (3 weeks).

  1. Great job, Cami! You may not see "lots of revelations" from your vantage point, but you are doing a good thing. LOOK at how much improved your blood pressure issue is! That's a life-and-death deal right there!
    Love you!
