Re: Journal??

[Guest guest]

i had to keep a journal for like a four day period of time pre-op and then

four days post-op about 3 weeks out when i thought i wasn't doing things right.

i was but needed to get more protein and calories in so my nutrienist

suggested eating full cottage cheese (4% fat) and whole cheese (not light or low

fat). it doesn't hurt to keep journals though, i just don't take the time,

specially when i'm at work all day. take care and have a great day!!

my nutritionist asked me to keep track of what i was eating in a journal and

when i followed up with her 4 weeks post-op she went through it and told me

what i should or shouldn't be doing. it was very helpful for her to see it and

for me to write it because i knew how much protein i was getting, etc.

i also kept a personal journal about 6 weeks prior to my surgery until the

present. it helped to write and read my mood changes and analyze maybe why i

was feeling certain ways. now i look back and think to myself, wow, i can't

believe i felt that way. it is very theraputic.

I haven't had the surgery yet but I'm in the process of getting it. the

dietician has me write down everything I eat and she says I will have to

continue to do that after surgery

You will be in my thoughts. I am glad you found someone to stay

with you. Maybe before I go back to work I will take a ride down

and see you. How far are you from Mystic Aquarium? GS and I like to

go there too. I feel fine except I am very tired, no pain and I

have a giant bruise right across my stomach. Dr said I must have

bleed a little after surgery but I would be alright except for

turning all different colors. DIL took a picture but I think I will

wait to show you. LOL Don't be nervous, I got scared after I

checked in, but soon I was in laa laa land. I woke up in a private

room, just lucked out that was the only room they had open so to

make up for " inconviencing " me I got phone and TV a long with the

private for nothing extra. I am having trouble getting all the

protein in, yesterday I had a wicked headache, then I remembered I

had not eaten (drank) anything for 8 hours. Got to keep track of

protein. I also sleep in the reclining chair in my room, I have a

water bed at home and it was hard for me to sleep on the hard

mattress, so I do have a sore butt. LOL I am rambling, must be the

ansethia (can't spell either)

bye
