Day 13 Post-op

Oct 17, 2009

Well, it's a done deal.  Five holes, (one extra for ON-Q Painbuster), kidneys afloat with lots of liquids, and I do believe I am on my way to better health. 

My protien shake were giving me a bit of a fight for the first few days.  I just couldn't stand the sweetness.  I have, however, combatted this problem.  I now use UNJURY, unflavoured protien powder and add it to a tall glass of Sugar-free Carnation Instant Breakfast drink, and thin it with skim-milk.  Problem solved.  My protien goes down the hatch and I have no complaints.

As for the rest of my full liquid diet, I eat (drink) rather plainly.  I am mostly subsisting on 1% cottage cheese topped with Sugar-free orange jello.  Yummy!  I do, however, have to chew the living daylights out of the curds.  Other than that, I enjoy my chicken broth and 100% tomatoe juice. 

On Monday, I start on pureed.  Not sure how I'm going to like that!  I don't really care for pre-chewed foods, especially meats.  I think., though, that I can have my refried beans.  I'm going to check on that one.  I sure hope so, because I love refried beans.
