Week 2

Aug 20, 2013

Hi Everyone! 

Just checking in. I had my surgery exactly 2 weeks ago today. I've been feeling okay -- some days are better than others. I'm hydrated throughout the day, but I seem to wake up dehydrated every morning (and feel like crap until I get some water in me.) Do you guys know how I can stay hydrated overnight without having to wake up throughout the night to drink water?

I'm up to 2 protein shakes per day (about 40-50 grams of protein). Today, I'm going to try to make it 3x day. I've emailed my surgeon's office to ask when I can graduate to soft foods. Hopefully soon!

TMI warning: Today I had my very first non-diarrhea bowel movement since the surgery! Wooohoo! I never thought I'd be so happy about that kind of thing. 

I've lost 13 pounds so far. It doesn't seem like much. But I'll take whatever I can get. :) Only 99 more pounds to go. Yay!
