This past 3 weeks have been interesting! I am doing well since surgery on the 3rd. I am only hungry around dinner time. I am not loving the protein shakes any more- but am down to 1 a day and one protein alternative from my surgeons list (like oatmeal made with milk and protein powder or the like). I am eating purees now 3 times a day. I eat 1/4-1/2 cup of eggbeaters in the morning and usualy 1/4 c yogurt or cottage cheese at lunch and at dinner it is more eggs or canned chicken w/ lite mayo and a little sf applesauce on the side. Then a protein drink at night and I fit in another one usually in the am.I have lost about 30 lb since highest weight but just about 18 since surgery.
I am trying to walk daily, but I am still alittle tired from surgery and often take a cat nap in afternoon.
It is hard to get 8 8fl ounces of water in but I get at least 6 which is the minimum. I am taking all my vitamins and love the celebrate calicium in hot cocoa!
The staples came out a couple of weeks ago and are healing fine. They really itched just before they came out and a little while after. Bowel mvments are different to say the least.
If anyone has any ?'s about surgery or recovery just ask I am a detail person too!
Thankis for reading,
~Nicole
