Mashables/Soft Foods Week⟫ Day 5
I’ve now had two days of a LOT of sleep! Yesterday, I woke up in time to see the Oldest as they had come to pick up Stripes. It was absolutely lovely to see her and get a hug, very special. Then Book_grim and I had a chilled day. I crashed out for a good four hours and we both went to bed around 2 am. Well, she went to her room – I don’t know if she went to sleep.
This morning, I woke up around 8.30 as I needed the bathroom and made sure to call Book_grim so that she would feed the cats. Then I went back to sleep!! I think some of it is that I am sleeping on my side which is my preferred sleeping position, which means I sleep better. The bad side of that is how much I ache once I wake up and have to move. It feels like my insides have been tumbling around and is really uncomfortable. I don’t sleep nearly as well when I sleep sitting up so it’s a choice to make I guess.
It’s my writing day so I decided to go through all of the book reviews I have done over the past year and collate them all together. I had no idea I had written quite so many reviews, but it was great because I found a few books that should be a due a sequel, as well as ones that already have a sequel but got lost in my to-be-read pile. Stripes is on her way home and Book-grim has work tonight, so I think I’m going to log off from everything and just spend a bit of time with both of them before I crash out to sleep again!
I haven’t done too well food-wise today. I had a scrambled egg but couldn’t finish it; a slice of turkey with some stuffing and gravy and I just about finished the slice of turkey. I might try to have a smoothie or something just to get more protein, etc in but I am feeling pretty full. Water is doing better – I’m using a straw with my old water bottle and it seems to be preventing me swallowing too much air. I read a few people on Reddit say that it helped them reach their water goals and didn’t cause too much gas so thought I would give it a go. So far, so good.
Tomorrow marks four weeks exactly to the day that I had the VSG so I will try to do a round-up of my losses and how I’m feeling.
