2 week surgevisary......

Mar 08, 2012

I am definitely in much better condition today than I was 2 weeks ago...lol. Can't believe it has been 2 weeks already!!  I had  my 2 week post-op appt yesterday and met with the surgeon and dietician and everything went great. I am finally able to eat some normal foods!!!

There are a few restrictions that they want me to wait another 2 weeks for, but quite a bit has opened up. Water and Protein is the name of the game. I have to make sure to get at least 90 grams of protein in a day, preferably 120 grams or more.  I prefer to go about my protein in a more plant based way than animal based, but it is actually very easy to find great protein rich plant sources and there is pretty much no limit to that right now. tofu, tempeh, pea protein powder, veggie protein powders...

I did grab a case of Isopure and a bag of unflavored whey protein to add to soups and such. I had a bowl of high protein kashi cereal this morning with some light soy milk.

The wierdest part for me is serving size... I used to laugh at food labels that said one serving is a half cup or 8 ounces.... Now I look at that and think DANG I am going to be stuffed...lol
