Jul 12, 2010

So it's day 19!!!!! and it was my first doctor appointment since the surgery. I'm down 27 lbs!!!!!! All my labs came back good but when she asked what I was getting down, I told her the truth which is maybe 8-12 oz of water and maybe 40 oz of protein a day and she was not happy!! she said I need to drink more water and get in at least 100 grams of protein a day!!! I don't know how I'm going to do it. I hate all the powders I've tried, the hard boiled egg whites and cheese I'd been surviving on she said I shouldn't be eating yet!!!

She did progress my diet to creamy soups, which I'm not fond of. I'd rather not eat. but she wants me to sprinkle protein powder on everything (which I HATE) so I'm having a really hard time with it. On July 24th she wants me to move to soft foods, so that means pureed meats (lunchmeats), scrambled eggs, tofu, cottage cheese, pureed veggies and some fruits. No berries and no corn or certain veggies like celary and stuff. Which I don't like anyway. Not sure how I'm gonna do it but I have to try.

Anyone have any suggestions?? Strangely, I'm still not hungry but I am bored and I want to eat. This emotional rollercoaster is something else. Called my therapist today and making an appointment this week!!

So the doctor looked at my incisions, said everything looked good. Still can't swim for another 4-6 weeks!!!!!!! and she wants me to excersize more. As in walk further and longer and try little weights. I'm so not ready for that!
