8 Days Post OP...... 10 lbs down...

May 02, 2013

So it's been a few days since I have posted, but I'm here now. The last few days have been rough, I have not been able to get down all my water, or find protein that I can tolerate drinking. So needless to say I do not have any energy.

However today was my first pre-op visit and the Doctor says everything went well and looks good. I am progressing as I should be, still in a little pain, but it will go away in time. I just need to wear my binder and not lift anything over 10lbs...like I would ever have the energy to lift. I have never sleep so much in my life.

Now the doctor had great things to say but the nutritionist was another story. She laid into me about the importance of getting in at least 2 protein shakes per day with each being at least 25 grams each, and getting in all my water. But again things are easier said than done. She stated it helps in the healing process and the weight loss. She gave me suggestion of other things to try but also gave me some samples of protein I might enjoy.... I'm so glad she did because I can actually tolerate one of the samples she gave me. PREMIER PROTEIN will become my new BFF.....

But I do have to say I'm ready for some really food...... it's been almost 30 days with at bite of food......
