I'm home, had some complications which kept me in the hospital for 2 extra days. None of them do to the bypass, happily. Just a bit sore and pretty tired, had a major snow storm and walking outside is out of the question, petrified to slip on ice!
Have a few issues that i am trying to find answers to. I am going to post a few things and see what kind of feedback I get back.
Right now I am wondering if I did the right thing....I can't wait to add a future blog saying that I did!   I wish that it wasn't winter! Exercise outside will be difficult BUT not impossible!

Thanks for all of the prayers and positive messages, truly appreciated!

Okay, here's the deal, I am HUNGRY!  The sugar free free jello I can still tolerate but the fat free salt free taste free smells like a wet dog broth makes me want to vomit!  Arghh. wasn't expecting this to be so difficult!  In the hospital I was actually fantasizing about cheeze its!  I can't believe how often food is mentioned on TV.  I was able to start my protein shakes when i got home yesterday, was very excited!!! tried chocolate unjury....OMG wanted to be sick, finished it though, felt full...but I swear I smelled it all over the house last night!  The Nectar that I could tolerate before surgery another big yuck!  and the Isopure the after taste is horrid.  I need to find something..and i will be ok!  My husband was soo sweet, he crushed iced and tried to make me a "pina colada" w/ the nectar...nope didn't cut it, but he was great to do it! He closes the kitchen door when he makes dinner for them...too awesome!  I licked my daughter's oatmeal spoon this am....had to get that out!
Thank goodness for sugar free popsicles.  Water oh what fun this is going to be to get 48-64 ounces in day, it is okay until you factor in the times before and after meals!  I WILL GET THIS AND I WILL BE OK, just wanted to put it out there, maybe get some feedback!

Okay, so in being an honest person I will blog honestly, I ate a small amount of lowfat cottage cheese today. I know it is too early, but I couldn't stomach the thought of jello, broth or protein drinks.  It was good, have been drinking water all night since 60 minutes after. I feel so guilty. Ahh feel a little lighter now.
The next challenge will be my brother's house tomorrow for Christmas Eve, food smells soooooo good!  Maybe we'll make a pit stop at Whole Foods and I can find a few different protein drinks!

So thrilled that I was able to shop for Christmas before surgery!  Wish that I had wrapped everything already! 

Done for now!
