Slowly but SURELY

Well, I am week 2 Post OP. Everything is going great. I lost 2.2 pounds down to 224.4.All of my incisions have healed with the exeption of one. It is located on the front right. I suppose it is because it is on my dominant side and she had to cut through muscle. My PCP has cecked it and said it looks fine, just give a week or two... Do I have a choice? No.
What am I eating? Yogurt, Vitamin Water by Glaceau or Sobe, Protein water by Isopure, CranGrape juice, Cheese and Brocoli soup from Au Bon Pain, French Onion soup from Panara Bread, and chocolate pudding. In a typical day, I have vitamin water in the morning, 5 table spoons of soup for lunch, half of bottle of Isopure, ice with CranGrape juice, and 5 tablespoons of soup or 2 table spoons of pudding for dinner. This amounts to about 650 calories at the most and 30 grams of protein.
I am getting better every week. I do get my daily intake of water/fluids. I still need to work on the protein. This week I can add protein powder, but not fruit. Next week is fruit. So next week, I will add protein shakes for breakfast and lunch along with the Isopure. Hopefully I can get to atleast 50 grams of protein. I think this will be much easier when I get on solids. I am so ready for solids, but I do not mind the sacrifice. It is only a couple of more weeks. You gotta love the sleeve, I do!!!
Next week I will be adding exercise to my regimen. I hope to start at 45 minutes walking. I would like to work my way up to starting the C25K by week 4.
I did not have this surgery to play around. I will loose the weight, I will follow the rules, I will exercise, I will be sucessful!!!
