day 11 post-op

Back at work! Sitting at my desk is a bit uncomfortable because i can feel my port. The port forces me to sit up straight and not slouch. Other than that it's all good.

day 12.

I think my bottled ready to drink Protein drinks have more sugars or something. I say that because my weight has been at a stand still since I started drinking them on Sunday. Im going back to mixing my own Protein ASAP! 1 scoop of protein, 7oz Water, 1oz 2%milk. this bottled stuff is very milky.

Premade def has more sugar than any of the powders I have. I'm getting a little tired of the shakes. I heard at support group last night abt a brand that starts with "necta" and has some interesting flavors. I'm gonna try and track it down.

Let me know when you track it down.

I *think* this might be what the gal was describing: Syntrax nectar brand. Check out netrition.com/syntrax_nectar_page.html

Lottttttts of flavors. Expensive. Think I will try the variety sampler pack.

[aviva1979 375]

Just ordered variety pack and a tub of unflavored to try and add to other stuff I'm having.

I start my 10 day pre-op diet on 3 August. It is a soft food only, with a sugar free focus

[tamara3569 25]

I start my pre op diet on Aug 1st...my doc allows for small meals and is not just liquid only. Has anyone else had this type of pre op diet

[kbush 176]

18 days post-op and I can't tell I had surgery.

[fearfefe 23]

@tamara3569 - my pre-op diet was a Protein Shake for Breakfast a small meal for lunch and a Protein shake for dinner. i had to atleast get 60 to 80 grams of protein in a day. Then 48 hours before surgery only liquids... I have lost 15lbs since the 15th of this month just on the pre-op diet......Surgery is tomorrow morning.....
