1 Week Post-Op

Aug 12, 2011

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!
