I have my one week post-op appt this afternoon. Hopefully they will pull the drain. It seems to be the only thing that really hurts at this point. Also, I haven't lost any weight, yet. Very frustrating!!! Need to ask what the deal is!!
On the plus side, I feel pretty good! In fact, I've been having bites of food. But, as my therapist talked to me about this morning. I need to be following the process. According the the plan, no solid food, yet. So, I need to be on no solid food. I'm on liquids right now which is basically my ProtiDiet drinks or some soup. At least with the ProtiDiet, I know I am getting my full grams of protein. I can totally see continuing to use those as a supplement for a very long time. When 8 ounces includes 15 grams of protein, it makes a big difference!!
I'm still struggling with getting enough water. When you can only take a sip at a time, it is hard. It's supposed to take me an hour to drink my 8oz ProtiDiet. An hour??? Wow. But, that is probably why I'm getting nausea still. sigh.
It's a long slow process. But, if I'm going to be successful, I need to take it long and slow.

You looked so great when I saw you last night. Hard to believe you had such major surgery less than a week ago! Sorry to hear that you're still feeling so nauseous though, I hope it goes away soon.
I'm glad surgery went well and you are home. I am sure you will be running around soon. :)
