Glad to hear things are good!! The pain on the left seems to be allot of people's issue. It was for me too

Today I had a Laughing Cow cheese wedge and it was sooo good. Can't have crackers yet so I ate it off of the wrapper. Popsicles have also helped with the urge of wanting crunchy food. I need to get more exercise in though.

Oh same here girl! Las week I had my first cheese n this week first egg. So I ate egg n cheese together. But i'm still in so much I can't exercise. I try to walk back n fourth on my porch, at least its something.

well I'm thankful for my surgeon! A ton of post op patients return to the hospital for dehydration because they can't keep up on fluids. my surgeon does NOT require protein shakes, they just want you to keep fluids up to prevent dehydration. Protein will come in time they say when you start eating. As long as your going pee and it's not dark in color your good. they want at least 64 oz of fluid in and were doing almost that!!

Ur so lucky. I'm not gonna worry about not getting all 70g of protein in. its hard anyway plus taking it makes me sick to where I can't get liquids in.

I'm having a hard time exercising. Today is the first day I have felt like moving around. Did a lot of shopping for school.

Congrats Mz Shay. Are you settled in at home? I have been drinking Boost 4 GM sugar 17 GM protein they taste okay to make it taste better I pour it in my best wine glasses with ice and drink like a cocktail. I'm with you guys in regard to pain on left it gets better each day. Ian taking 1/2 medicine which is 1 tsp roxicet. I can't seem to ween from it. Also I've noticed the old clue for having to go pee is different. Now my stomach feels uncomfortable. Anyone notice this?

Ok so I've been having a hard time getting protein in...today I tried something that just might work...I got a cup of coffee, added sugar free french vanilla creamer and a scoop of vanilla protein which had 30 grams of protein...not what I would call delicious, but doable...

That's exactly what my surgeon said. They're more focused on getting fluids in and getting the hang of the meals and water swapping and then when on normal food concentrate on getting protein levels where they need to be.

Same here Becky, I can't stand this protein!. My friend gave me sample of his. Its something like super something whey choc. N I put it in milk. Wasnt as bad as the new whey but I still can smell that protein. But its better. Today only protein is fish I ate.

I can't have fish yet...I don't really like it but I love tuna...Tuesday starts my next stage...yay!!

I'm not on the phase for fish or tuna but my dr.. Told me if I chew it well I could have it. So I started out with tuna, it tasted so good compared to Wat I wss eating, then I waited a few days n baked me fish n seasoned it well. N I've tolerated it well. I was out all day n hadn't had any protein so I got McDonalds fish n peeled the breaded area off which left hardly anything, this evening I ate a egg n cottage, i'm trying everything to stop the protein. Lol
