Nearly 2 weeks out

Dec 13, 2009

 Well Tuesday will be 2 weeks exactly since surgery. I'm still struggling to figure out what gives me gas and what doesn't. I'm uncomfortable most times as I try to figure this out but come Tuesday I'll be able to start adding some meats to my diet which will be very nice. I'm pretty sick of the same foods. I got some great suggestions from the main board on foods they were able to tolerate and on some on the go foods at drive thrus since my husband and I spend a great deal of time on the road.

My scar looks like a railroad track. I wonder why the insertion points of the staples look worse than the actual incision? That bugs me since that part isn't so bad but the staples dots are terrible looking. All well I guess. 

As far as everything else goes I'm moving along each day trying to get all my limits of stuff and not get too confused between what I know to be correct based on what I've learned here and by what my surgeon tells me. He seems to give a lot of recycled RYN advice. My fluid intake hovers around 50 oz a day which I'm really trying to improve and my protein intake is anywhere from 35 - 60 g a day which I know isn't enough but I guess I'm trying for the 30, 60, 90 rule. I just can't seem to get more in. Perhaps when I add meat it'll be easier. I am doing my walking. I walk 30 min a day broken down into 3 10 min walks or sometimes into 5 min increments. So just taking each day 1 at a time and hoping to get feeling more like myself soon sine Christmas is around the corner. I don't mind not eating all the junk but I would like to not feel like crap the entire day. :)

Hope you're all doing well and have a great holiday. See you on the boards.
