1 Week Post-Op

Well, it's been a week since the surgery and so far so good. I've lost 24 pounds so far. Woo hoo! I'm not feeling any abdominal pain or having uncomfortable gas problems. Yay! I still can't lie on my stomach, but I can sleep on my sides. I can take two normal-sized "sips" of drink at once without any trouble, so that's good, too. Like I said, so far so good.
I'm losing weight, but that's no wonder when I'm not eating anything! LOL. I am so stoked to finish my clear liquid diet tomorrow. I have been feeling really run-down the past two days, and hungry, too, at times. I'm sure it's because of the lack of nutrition. I've been having a protien bullet every day (I just can't stomach more than that!), but it's just not enough.
Speaking of, I actually came across a protein bullet that didn't taste 100% vile! I couldn't believe it! Don't get me wrong, it's not great, or even good. But it is palatable, and I have no problems drinking it down without holding my nose. As a matter of fact, it didn't smell too bad either. It's called Proasis and we bought it at RiteAid. The flavor I had was "clear Niagra grape" (because, you know, just calling it "grape" isn't good enough, lol) and it was fine (okay).
Today I also finally got my Unjury shipment and I was able to try their chicken soup. It's not that great, but it is palatable. I'd much rather sip chicken broth, but this way I get more protein in.
Well, that's the scoop so far. Thanks for reading!
