More progress

Jul 24, 2009

I have lost 10 pounds since July 6th.  I consider that a successful beginning.  Some of it is the diet, some of it is the walking.  I am thinking about buying a treadmill for the rainy days and for the days when I get home too late to go for a walk around the neighborhood.   I am just not a gym person. 
I am feeling better than I have felt for quite awhile.  I think it is due to the fact that I have put myself back on the top of the priority list.  Self-neglect is not a good thing at all.    ginny

Back to my old self almost

Jul 09, 2009

I am feeling much better today.   I have been out for a few walks.  I am able to drink a bit more at each sitting so that I'm getting more protein and other liquids into my system.  I still haven't reached the goals of 60 grams of protein and 56 oz.  of clear liquid, but I did much better than yesterday.   My walks totaled 6 miles today.

I think I figured it out

I think I am trying too hard to get all of the liquid in too quickly.  The pressure and bloating seems to correspond to when I am drinking.   Duh.....small sips....small sips

Day one after sclerotherapy

Jul 07, 2009

I had sclerotherapy yesterday.   There wasn't much pain involved.  It is more like pressure in the middle of my stomach.  To put it bluntly, I feel like I need one good belch.   Today's job was to get 28-32 ounces of clear fluid into me.  So far I have managed 24.   The diet progression says to drink 2 oz per hour.   Believe me, that's all I can manage.
