Okay so I’ve lost 140 lbs in total... 100 since surgery in march...
i get very light headed when standing though... sometimes worse than others... sometimes I get the whole tunnel vision thing... anyone else experienced this? It’s not every time... but almost very time I stand up out of the recliner or get out of bed too fast... does it go away with time as my body gets used to my new found mobility?

Okay, this reached a head last night... id been just dealing with it... I passed out after getting out fo bed to get my phone charge last night... work up on the floor in pain from landing on my shoulder.... put in a call to my surgeon this morning, waiting for a call back...

My doctor has kind of a Laissez-faire attitude, he said by three weeks out the worst any food can do to you is make you want to puke it up, so start really slow and stop if anything gives you problems. I like egg whites so i do eat them a lot for supplemental Protein, but I've been slowly trying new meats. I've had mahi mahi, tuna (salad), grilled chicken, chicken sausage, and turkey bacon so far. I'm not a huge steak person, so I haven't tried, but I would think that would be on the list of things to hold off on until you are more comfortable. I'm going to have some sushi/sashimi for dinner tonight to see how that goes.
Trader Joe's has these spicy pickle chips that are great.

Okay... need some guidance/confirmations here....I’m in full liquid /purée stage...
Surgery was Tuesday, went home Friday, started purée Saturday, and it’s Sunday...
Yesterday I had:
Apple sauce for breky (i found it takes my blood thinner med and dissolves well, plus I can finish the whole little cup, so I can ensure I get all my med)
About half an Atkins Protein Shake for lunch
Some Campbell’s Tomato bisque for lunch (only had a few bites)
More shake in the afternoon,
Apple sauce for dinner (wasn’t really hungry)
And some vanilla pudding with Protein powder mixed in for dessert.
Thoughts?
I got about the same today, different Soups.
Yesterday got about 40’oz of Water / sugar free Powerade... today approaching 60oz...
I feel like I’m progressing okay... but my
Folks (who I’m staying with during recovery) more so my mom is on me every 20-30 minutes nagging about diet and what I’m eating...
telling me to calendar because I can’t decide what to eat...
I’m having trouble deciding what to eat because I have little appetite so I’m trying to decide on something that won’t make me Nauseated as I try to force it down cause I know I need to eat...
