I am so thankful to have a special OH friend. Day before yesterday was a particularly hard day. I think I just had a little meltdown. She was so helpful. Thank you, Pam. I figured out that I am lactose intolerant. I had lots of gas and bloating the first 2-3 days after surgery which is normal, so I didn't realize that I was adding to it. I was drinking lactaid milk with protein powder, but was also adding powdered milk, to increase the protein. I was having so much trouble tolerating the protein shakes(Still am), but when I started leaving out the powdered milk it got a lot easier. I just have to take the shake and think of it as medicine. There is one I like fairly well, but ran out and am waiting for more to be delivered. There isn't much available where I live, so I have to order online. As of today, day 6 I have lost 18lbs. It is so amazing. I give all the glory to God. He made it possible for me to have this surgery and has given me a wonderful speedy recovery. My husband has been amazing. During this time he has renewed his relationship with the Lord, something I have been praying for for a long time. God is amazing. Later
