I just updated my blog. Had a bad experience today.

I really thought I had a good grasp on my diet post op, but I'm confused all of a sudden.  I think these first two weeks I am on soft foods, potatoes, cream soups, eggs, cheese grits, etc. and I shouldn't be concerned about protein.  When I go back to the doctor on Oct 3, next Friday, he will put me on blenderized foods and I can begin to count protein.  While I'm healing and  eating 30cc (the medicine cup) full, there is no way to count protein, cuz basically I'm not getting any.  I tried the 3 ounce 47 gram of bullet protein made by NewWhey and really liked it, but basically it made me feel way to full for a long time, painfully so.  I'm thinking I shouldn't be concerned so much about protein at this stage.  Do you guys think that's right?  My doctor has said no eating between meals, eat 30 cc of mashed potatoes, cream soups, etc, and I'm rationalizing that this is for my pouch to heal.  I'm getting 48 oz of fluids in and I'm walking like crazy on my new treadmill.  I'm taking my vitamins and calcium citrate.  I'm down 15 lbs in one week.  I don't feel bad or sluggish or even very sore anymore.  Do you all think I'm doing things right?

When I was early out, I ate toca bell refried beans w/cheese, no red sauce. It was my go to food. I also ate cottage cheese a lot. Both are good sources of protein. You will get it in tme. try a water base protein shake. There is a good protein powder (Aria) that is mixed with water. Good luck and congrats!!!!!

I'm really good, never hungry.  I'm eating 30cc of soft food 3 times a day, concerned about the low level of protein at this stage, but doing okay.  We took before photos last weekend....ugh, not a pretty site. 

Most casino hotels are less costly on week days like mon-thur
Some of them cost less if you have a players card with them.

Verzels is a really nice res, great food, but I must say
they are alittle on the costly side.
The Steamer on highway 603, costly too, but they have lobster, crawfish
when in season, Red shrimp, flounder and other types of fish native to our
area, always have oysters too. 

If you Like BBQ - the SHED is the best way to go!!!

The casinos on the buffet usually have KING CRAB legs - wonderful.

I am not sure if they have reopen the historical house their in Biloxi
lot of civil war stuff - hwy 90 beach.

There are also some good golf courses, if you do that kind of thing.
Casinos also have different shows going on - concerts by well know
singers. Might want to ck ahead for tickets. 

Hope ya'll have a great time, CHAMBER OF JACKSON COUNTY
can also give you some great ideals.

PS the casino's buffets are usually less costly during lunch or some
of them have specials for different nights.  I know Hollywood in Bay
St. Louis their Buffet is less costly on Wednesdays and if you have
their players card you get even a better price - just go by the customer
service desk and ask them for a players card -easy.  Before you
go up to eat.
