Today I am out 9 days and I woke up sideways. I couldn't make breakfast cuz I kept feeling like I was going to tip over. I am pretty sure my blood sugar was low but drinking chicken broth didn't help much so I added just about everything I could have to ingest and I felt a little better. My Mother didn't want me to drive so I sat and drank some warm tea and gradually it went away. I didn't like that at all so I made more of an effort today to get some broth in every couple of hours. I had 4-8oz cups of herbal tea and nearly an entire 1.5 liter bottle of water so I know it had/has nothing to do with dehydration. If I feel the same way tomorrow morning I will call my nutritionalist and let her know I need some suggestions of foods I can have that won't leave me near passing out.....tomorrow is the first day I will be alone with my kids all day and I can't risk passing out on them.

You know I keep thinking that sometime soon I am going to feel pain since I haven't really at all........that I am going to throw up, that I am going to gulp water and feel it. I am so greatful that I haven't yet......just wish the anxiety about it would leave.

I started a little light weights on my arms tonight, nothing heavy just 5lbs. I think I needed to do that because I can sence the atrophy (no, really

) I also have walked 1.5 miles 2x's this week and I have done fine afterwards too. I notice I don't need so much sleep, here it is after 11:30pm again and I am still burning brite. I did take an hour nap today but before surgery I was used to taking a 2.5 hour nap daily........it's so weird this early out to see these drastic changes in energy. I do still like some quiet time though.

Well I am getting some weird twinges in my lower right abdomen so I am going to go lay down and hope they go away.......feels like a tight muscle in a knot. All of my muscles in my stomach feel tight-I need to start streching again
