6 days post op

Mar 29, 2009

Well I am now 6 days post op. I cannot wait until Tuesday March 31 to go back to the Dr. Office. I want this JP tube out. It is the most annoying part of this whole process and the most tender. I truly feel that once this tube comes out my soreness will start to ease up. The tube insertion area is really tender and sore.
Does anyone have stomach spasms? There are times that I can feel my stomach of something in there having spasms. It reminds me of a baby moving in your stomach if you are pregnant. I can be quite annoying.
I am also having hard time getting all my water in on a daily basis and if anyone out there has a schedule they go by or how you are getting your water in please let me know.
I use the WHEY protein drinks from walmart. I got the strawberry and chocolate and I mix the 1 scoop with 5 oz of water and blend really well and then place in the freezer. I get it to freeze to the consistency to where I have to eat with a spoon. I gives me the 20 min needed to consume the protein meal. 1 scoop gives you 28 g of protein with each serving. I am getting my minimum serving of protein in but until i get on a diff diet that gives me more options then I could possibly add more.
I can get the protein drinks down, takes me awhile but they are not that tasty.  I am not really hungry at this point,
I will update next week after going to Dr. to see what the first weeks results are.

Happy losing.

Diana
