Eating too much?
Two boiled eggs and a small ginger tuna 85g can
I feel satisfied not stuffed
But I'm trying to get my protein in via food and not only shakes.
I had a Total lean shake for breakfast
For snack 3 cream crackers w/ 95% fat free herb and garlic cream cheese
I read a lot that people can hardly eat anything? I can tolerate most foods fine.
Cheese, milk, cottage cheese,chilli, soup,
Help
You should speak to your nutritionist, that is what they are for (even though they aren't the greatest at calling you back). You should be keeping a food journal for your one month follow up (or your next appointment). They will be able to have a look.
Not sure I would have had the guts (pardon the pun) to eat chili at 3 weks out...
I know I think I'm weird cause I see others struggling and or having issues with amounts.
I take around an 45 min to an hour to finish my shake but that I think is normal. I walk the football field at my sons practice 3 nights a week at a brisk pace 8-10 times
At two weeks out I went to my GP wondering about my blood pressure meds that I had not taken since the morning of my surgery. She took my BP 6 times on the machine and once manually and I was 109/72... She couldn't believe it since I was 144/93 prior to my meds. So she told me to continue not taking them and come back in 6 weeks to do blood work to check my hyperthyroid levels.
I agree with the others, see what your dietician says at your appointment. It may be fine you can tolerate these foods in these amounts, but the question this early postop is, should you?
Good luck pal, each one of us are different, no two diamonds are the same. Say what, ok sorry, I am tired didn't nap today lol.
