Well, apparently Food Dreams are going to be around for awhile. And again- I apologize for all my typos, I need to cut my fingernails. lol.
So last night I dreamt of eating a Twix Bar. (my FAVORITE!). And all day today I was fantasizing about a melty toasted cheese sandwich. And cinnamon toast. LOL. But in the end, I've been very good and I am proud of myself. I got in 65 g protein and about 50+ oz of fluids. I think thats pretty darn good when after surgery I could barely sip at all!
No more dry-heaves, thank goodness. However I have had 2 instances where I have had a protein shake... then get a super pounding heart rate that I FEEL, like my heart is gonna jump out of my chest. This has happened twice, and it is a bit scary. Weird feeling. It has been an adjustment to drink slow sips, as I used to be a huge fluid Gulper. But I'm getting better, and able to take it a little more fluid here and there.
Been getting some good walking in. Yesterday we went to see my Horse (I miss him!), then today we went to see the movie Public Enemies, which required walking the entire length of the mall.... Then tonight, as all the fireworks were going off, we took our dogs out for a nice long walk. I wanted to make sure our puppy would not freak with fireworks. And they were both oblivious, so that was good. The walk outside made me really realize how out of it I am, and how slow I still need to take it. Still having a hard time taking deep breaths- it hurts!
Alright, well that's about it for now. I just got a bunch of self-help books about post WLS from Amazon, and I've decided to look into a Therapist as well for this journey. I have a feeling there are many reasons behind my weight that I would like to heal, you know? And do it the right way. So yah.
Happy 4th of July everyone! Thanks to all the Men and Women Soldiers who've given us this day, this freedom and this independence! God Bless!
