5 Days of Post Op w/Realize Band

Dec 26, 2010

Hi everyone! just wanted to blog a little of how I'm doing and feeling now that I'm 5 days out from my surgery {Realize band}, well each day I feel better overall, but! I am starting to have more hunger feelings, so I'll eat a sugarfree pudding, and at first I could only dip and lick the pudding off the spoon, then I could dip tiny amounts on the spoon, and I think day 3, I was up to eating 1/2 pre pack pudding cups, and yestersday 'Christmas day" after smelling Gumbo cooking for hours, I was able to eat all of 1 pre packed pudding cup, now it took me about, 20 to 25 minutes or so I actually didn't time myself, so today is better, the incisions are doing and looking alot better today, and and since surgery I am down 5lbs, so Im happy about that, my family is support is great, Im able to feel my port alot more, very diffrent feeling, also Im still on liquids of course, its really hard trying to get 64oz down and including 60gr to 80grams of protein, oh yeah I did have a 25gram protein shake yesterday evening, I felt compelled to have one, mine you I've been drinking them well over a month on liver shrinking and pre op diets!, so if anyone have any suggestions to complete the required protein and 64oz of water, other than the obvious I would appreciate any suggestions you all may have, and I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas.
