Almost 4 weeks and Counting
Apr 10, 2009
Well, I know it has been a long while since my post soooo... I have alot to say. I am FINALLY on food...wonderful food. It has been so long and really ruff for me on protein drinks. I just could not get the protein drinks to work for me, but Dr. O kept saying (well him thru his NUT), don't worry you can leave and breath for a few weeks without protein..but keep drinking the liquids. I have had no trouble with the liquids. So that is what I did. Just drank and got in only about 40g of protein a day.Blended stage: What can I say about that...UGH. It was better than all liquid. I basically lived on eggs. I like them still..thank goodness. I did eat some tuna, that was pretty good too...BUT fish...OMGosh...can't take the smell, and I have tried a few different types. Smells are still really getting to me. Most things smell very gross to me. So during this stage I actually got most of my 60g protein in daily.
Food Stage: LOVE IT...last night I had turkey tacos with my hubby and kids. Well I had taco flavored turkey meat. But to me it was just like I was eating tacos with them. I felt NORMAL again.
Vitamins: Well, I am doing great on vitamins, except for Calcium. I just can't find one I like (three times a day for the rest of my live....I wanna like it). Most that seem good, like the chewable, the NUT says is not good enough. Keep looking. So that is what I am doing. Still looking and taking one NUT don't really like, but it is from Bariactric Advantage (the new chewable choc ones).
I am back to work, went back on Monday. Drive a school bus so I have managed to do pretty good, EXCEPT when I took 1st graders on a trip. When I told the teachers I could not load and unload their coolers due to recent surgery they seemed alittle upset, but they did it themselves and I got no complaints from my boss, Yet. But they know my restrictions in the office and I still get trips sooo you would think they would back me up on this.
Well I guess that kinda catches me up...Go to the Dr. on Thursday the 16Th sooo. I will update again then.
Good luck to us all...
