  I'm not even 3 weeks out yet and I have been stalled for a week already! AAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  I'll get over this, it isn't like I'll be stuck here forever. I know all of the platitudes too, still healing, swollen,  change in intake, laid up for a while with no exercise. Building muscle ... The whole ball of wax. It doesn't even help the frustration to have all of the knowledge, because I just don't want to be stalled!

  I have walked no less then 2 miles every day, for the last 18 days. this is over and above all of my normal daily stuff I do. Climbing the stairs to do laundry, Running the roads etc...The Doctor told me I am not allowed to do any more then just walking. He found out that I was doing 2 miles less then a week out and flipped! He said he won't release me to do more til I have been out a month.

  It does help that the dietitian has given me the ok to eat what I can tolerate. I can't tolerate anything sweet, and yes, I've made myself sick a few times with stuff I am apparently not ready for yet. But I can eat scrambled eggs! I also LOVE refried beans! I fix them with salsa, and cheese and heat them in the microwave! YUMMY! At the moment, other then cottage cheese, this seems to be my meals for a while!
