Setback

May 07, 2011

When I was 6 days post op I was readmitted to the hospital for a wound infection. Stayed in 2 days on high dose antibiotics and had to have the found opened up. Only had one stitch... 5 small incisions, but one stitch. My body did not like that stitch and started rejecting it... that caused the infection.

All is well today. On Phase 2 diet for 2 more days, then begin Phase 3 (pureed) on Monday. So far my pouch stays happy. Am able to get down about 48+ ounces of water a day. I do struggle getting in 80 grams of protein in. I average about 60. Am pretty diligent about the vitamins.

While I liked the protein shakes before surgery, I can't stand the taste of them today. I have to add the unflavored powder to things like cream soup or pudding. I hope those taste buds change again... because the shakes are very convient.
