Doing Well

So, I started myself on pureed food this past Wed night. Today is Sat and I am doing really well. I feel content - unlike with the soup thing my stomach is not always grumbling and I am not always hungry. I am sticking to 4 oz tuna or chicken salad, jello, string cheese, scrambled eggs, ice pops. I see my doctor on Tues and I'll see what he says. My only concern is that I am not sure if I am getting enough protein. The doctor's office told me not to worry at the beginning and I just had surgery 2 weeks ago this coming Monday. I am averaging about 45 grams, but I do feel really good. I guess I could add a protein shake or Isopure, but I haven't NEEDED to add anything. That may change once on regular food and after I have healed more.

 

Anyone have any suggestions as to what you did at this point in your journey?

 

I am at the gym 3 days a week, although next week I want to go to 4 days. I am happier than I have been in years.

 

Have a wonderful 4th to all of you bandsters out there.:rolleyes:

Congrats on doing so well. I am still on liquids, for another 8 days. 2 full weeks my Dr said. I look forward to the next step. I tried a tsp of peanut butter, but my stomach did not agree with that at all. So glad we are both bandsters.LOL
