another day in paradise..
Aug 11, 2011
well today is the 11th of august and i go to see the RNP & NUT on the 15th - monday and hopefully will get some advice. The last couple of days i have not been feeling myself in that emotionally i seem to be going through some issues. well this mornign i threw myself a pity party and after about 20 minutes i seemed to be better. amazing how tears and some inward thinking makes one want to smarten up, or rather want to pick oneself up and get back on track again.i think and hopefully will hear something about this from Viviane that what I am experiencing are some of the natural changes due to the weight loss. i have been on anti-depressants for sometime now and i think they may need to be dialed down a notch now. also my high blood pressure meds have not been adjusted and every now and then i am feeling light headed and getting nose bleeds which i have not had in a long time. i have also stopped using my cpap machine. i keep asking my husband if i am snoring and he says not much at all. i do have sleep apnea and should follow up with this however i do know my settings are probably too high. i find that after awhile with the mask on i feel all gassy, my mouth is dry and i cannot breath because it seems like it is too much air being forced in.I will have to see what Viv will have to say.
wrt meals. i seem to be afraid to want to eat and the things i want to eat - well who knows. i do have at least 1 protein shake a day (almost 40 g of protein per shake) usually for breakfast. i then have something like an egg -usually scrambled for lunch with tomato slices. then i have SF jello or pudding for snacks or even cheese strings (1). sometimes it is a popscicle. i never liked them all that much however they are delish now. then for dinner well i have been trying the michelina meals which i cannot finish. where i am running into problems is the after dinner time. i try to have fruit like watermelon chunks or cheese string but i think i need to reassess what i am eating. i ahve been trying and have liked small amounts of salads with low fat and lo cal dressing like italien. usually shredded lettuce, small bits of cheese and perhaps a slice of tomato. i do have some soup on occassion but other than that i am afraid to try other things. i did try some roasted chicken and some lentil salad however immediately i ended up with pains in my stomach and then ended up vomitting like crazy and felt horrible for the rest of the night. so that is probably why i am afraid to move one.
i just need to pull my big girl panties up and get on with it i guess.
