2 weeks post op tomorrow

Jun 17, 2010

On Tuesday I had to return to the Dr. due to my incisions sites had sprug a leak, well at least 2 had, and were driving me nuts as far as itching.  He has placed me back on antibiotics for 2 weeks as well as a topical cream for my incision sites.  They still itch but not as bad.  Personally I think that I am allergic to the glue they put on me, but beign safe with the antibiotic is ok with me as I do not want things in there messed up from an infection.

He also told me to go ahead and begin eating pureed food.  Prior to the surgery I was not looking forward to this, but I have to say I was happy to move from all the liquids.  Now the challenge was finding ideas of what to eat during this period of time and I found that there was little help here as far as things go.  I am sure some people are more helpful than others, just not as far as ideas.  Sooooo, I did a little search and found a site and I believe the name of it was "thinner times".  I will have to double check.  What I found was helpful and the 2 that I liked were .....

1.--1-2 spoon fulls of ricotta or cottage cheese    
      1-2 spoonfulls of spaghetti sauce (low sugar)
      a little bit of mozz cheese
heat in microwave til warm......it is yummy

2.--1-2 spoonfulls of fat free refried beans
      sprinkle of cheddar cheese
      1-2 packs or spoonfulls of taco sauce mixed in
heat in microwave til warm......this too is good.   And you will need to add water to the refried beans to thin them out.

Weight loss to date (from day of surgery)  17lbs. :-)
