Transition to Normal Food⟫ Ongoing
I caved in and emailed the weight management team asking for advice. Sare said that she had heard that drinking too much clear whey protein could lead to inflammation so I found myself wondering if I was doing myself a disservice by drinking so much of it. I also mentioned my lack of weight loss, although to be honest I can imagine they’ll tell me just to trust the process.
I took a dulcolax yesterday because I am still feeling very bunged up. Oh my Lord, last night it was like a tsunami. I was actually scared to go to bed in case I had an accident and considered sleeping without my CPAP mask on so that I could get out of bed in a hurry. I did sleep with it on but I feel like I slept very lightly and am tired. And the results of the dulcolax have continued into today, as well as incredibly smelly wind. Like almost gagging strength. It feels a bit like with Ozempic when nothing would happen for days and then there would be an outpouring, but in the meantime my body was pushing out the foullest smelling wind ever. I can barely stand to sit with myself and both Stripes and Book_grim were affected by it last night! I got an amazing photo of the pair of them shielding their noses from the stench!
I started my day cursing at the scales because they haven’t moved, despite the emptying. For breakfast, I changed it up a little and had strawberry light greek yoghurt with some raspberries and some mango puree – maybe the fresh fruit will help keep things moving until they settle down? I’m also sticking with drinking my Vimto protein water until I hear back from the Bariatric team. If they say I shouldn’t be having it – or not as much of it – then I can cut back, but in the meantime I want to keep meeting my protein goals.
I tweaked my hip and twisted my left knee during my walk with Book_grim yesterday and am suffering a little today. I did smother myself with muscle rub after my shower yesterday but the ache is still there. I’m not sure if I should go for another walk today or rest? I don’t want to wimp out at the first excuse but I also don’t want to make things worse.
And to top it all off, I feel like I’m going down with a cold!
