Post-Op visit today....

Oct 25, 2012

So...had my post-op visit today.  It is official - I have lost 28.2 lbs since 10/5 - Not too shabby!  I am proud of myself for making it through the last three weeks on the liquid diet and getting through surgery.  Today I get to start eating soft foods!  For the next two weeks, yogurt, cottage cheese, cream soups, outmeal, etc will be my friends!  Never thought I would be so excited about being able to eat again!  They even say you can baby food meats...if I remember from when my daughter was tiny, those were not my favorite!  However, every little jar has 8grams of protein!   They also said I could have tofu, and even suggested adding fnon-fat dry milk powder to my fat free milk to double the protein content.  Once I get in the 60g of protein, then I can have things like regular oatmeal, mashed potatoes, and cooked veggies.  No raw veggiew or fruits, and only unsweetened natural applesauce.  Currently making a list so I can go to the grocery store!

Feeling pretty good - work has been slow this week, so I was able to transition back without much stress. 

Going to rest for a bit - then off to the store!
