Had my surgery on 3/10. The hospital stay and recovery at home went / is going well. Still taking a pain med and a stomach spasm med every now and then but each day is less. Yesterday was the first day that I was able to almost meet my nutritional requirements. I’m supposed to take in 118grams of Protein a day. Basically I’m on a diet of Protein shakes (GNC Lean shake 25g Protein) Beef and chicken broth Soup, sugar free Jellow, and a little diet cranberry juice. throughout the day. Its coming out to be close to 800 calorie’s a day. And so far I’m dropping almost 2 lbs. a day. My first Doc visit will be on the 25, interested to see how that will go. Interesting thing with me I think (maybe not), starting yesterday not having a hard time getting liquids down. I pretty much eat everything now bowl and spoon. I able to put a cup of chicken broth down in about 10 minutes. Thought it would be harder then that. I’m finding that if I spoon everything it goes down easier. Definitely a little pain or comfortableness if I go to fast but it goes away fast and haven’t had the urge throw up or anything yet. Only thing worrying me now is that urination is often enough and easy but haven’t had a bowl movement yet. I guess constipation is an issue with this kind of surgery.
