March 11, 2008 -2 weeks post-op
I feel back to normal.  Energy is good but I cant stay up late like I used to. Im back in my bed and it felt really good. I woke up on my stomach a couple times but it was fine.
I started back at the Y. I started on the treadmill and I did 15 minutes on the eliptical. all together I did 3 miles. I try to go every other day. I still have to get on a routine with the exercise.
Im on full liquids.  In the course of the day I will have 2 slim fast shakes and a new whey protein liquid with 42 grams of protein.with just those 3 I get in about80 grams of protein and 600-700 calories. I drink low calorie gatorade, water and protein water in between. I may even have a glass of fat free milk in the evening. Sometimes I will have a strained cream soup instead of one of the slim fast shakes.

I am not hungry but since i cook for my family and feed little ones its very hard to not even have a taste sometimes it smells and looks soo good!!! 1 more week of liquids then I can have soft foods!!

It doesnt take as long to drink anymore. I urinate fine and  I have no worry of dehydration anymore. 

tips: 
1)slim fast chocolate high protein powder mixed with fat free milk is     yummy! 

2)  a 2oz. little cup marked with 1 oz. and 2 oz. (tupperware midget) helped me take no more than 1 oz gulps and helped me not have more than 3-4 ounces in 10 minutes. 

2 more lbs. down!  18 lbs total!
