8th Day Post-Op; Backtracking just a little...

Apr 04, 2011

This morning I tried a little cream of rice cereal, fortified with vanilla protein powder.  I also flavored the mixture with a little brown sugar Splenda and s/f syrup...It tasted good, it went down but, although I didn't get sick or anything, I neither felt at my best today.  I was in town doing errands, and bought an  rtd protein shake made by "Oh Yeah" at the vitamin shop.  It tasted really good, but still didn't leave me feeling my best.  When I got home, I had about a tablespoon of the chicken/bean stuff, and felt a little better, but all day felt off my game.  Decided it will be wiser to back-track a little now, back to the land of my own hand-made protein shakes, yogurt with protein powder added, cottage cheese, poached egg and maybe some soup for a few more days before I introduce anything else again.  Thinking maybe I strayed too far into the land of full liquids and soft foods early on. 

My other on-going challenge of the day was water/fluids.  I didn't start drinking early enough, and with this little tummy, there just isn't space enough to play "catch up" at the end of the day...i am only a few ounces down now, and will have another cup of herb tea before bed, so will work out ok.

I did order a Vita Mix machine to make better drinks & soups...should be here within a week...I hope it performs like the company claims.  If it doesn't, it'll be returned, bcuz VERY expensive!

Guess that's all for now!
