17 days after surgery... my tight jeans are baggy!

Jan 19, 2011

  Saw my nutritionist Tuesday and doctor yesterday.  All is well.  Almost 15lbs are gone.... thankfully off legs and hips.  It used to be I`d lose first off breasts and face which didn`t improve my looks much. Nice it`s happening the other way now.

Moving from all liquids to purees and mushies...   I can join my drum group on Saturday night, but can`t do much lifting for another 10 days...  I do miss my weightlifting workouts.

My first egg was a disaster... the first time I vomited since the surgery!.. My nutritionist had told me I could have scrambled eggs, so I hurried home and made one.  I scrambled it fine and chewed it really a lot before swallowing, but I ate too fast I guess and got into trouble.   I didn`t even eat it all, but should have only eaten half or less, I guess.

Today I tried an egg again scrambled with 2T of cottage cheese.  Wonderful!  Salty and tasty and full of protein!  I ate half...waited a while then the rest.  No problems.

For lunch I have some chicken breast pureed already with a little soup.  Getting organized.  I have to go back to work next week and I need to take my meals to school for a while.  That`s going to take some thought as I`m gone 8-10 hours from home.

A little without energy... but not too bad.  More potassium, maybe..  Here in Brazil Agua do coco.. Green coconut water is a wonderful source of protein and other nutrients.  ....
