Surgeries

February 3rd

Well I am off...see ya on the losers bench.

Good luck Crosby!

Hope Crosby is doing well!

I'm on day 2 of purée. I'm currently having lunch, and I might be having a fat free refried bean-gasm. I never knew beans could taste this good!!!

Had about half an egg this morning, and that was delicious as well. I'm feeling lucky because I guess many have egg issues.

I can see protein will be challenging on all food, so I expect to still have 1 protein shake per day at this point.

What is every one else's favorite purée?

Oh beans-- how I love thee. Warm and cozy in your little, mini bowl and toddler spoon.

I am literally having a love affair with my beans! lol

Oh wow I'm not there yet ????

Not until March 7 ????

Your luckier than me lucky I can't until March 13! My doctor doesn't even allow broths it's literally been strictly water and protien drinks lol. I tonight though am seriously considering being a rebel and having broth tonight with my unflavored protien powder. I'm thinking the reason my doctor doesn't want broths at this stage is because he is afraid people will not get the protien they need. But idk... I'm not a big rule breaker! Lol but I'm so sick of these sweet protein shakes lol.

Im 2 wks post op today. Finally in purees yay! Had my ff refried Beans yum! On a bad note... I stretched back in the recliner last night and popped open one of my incision sites pretty good. Er cleaned it and put steri sttips on it. Said it would have to heal from the inside out. Which should take a little while bummer. I have to return to work in 3 weeks. My work is quite physically demanding so I'm nervous. Also I have not lost anything the last few days. Still trying to get enough fluids, unsuccessfully. Trying not to get frustrated.

hw: 238, sw 230, cw 220.

Shanna my nut said there would a level off right after the 1st 10 days I'm experiencing it too.

Melanie - the refried Beans sound yumming do u use can fat free or do you take can of beans and mash them up ?

My favorite pureed right now is cottage cheese .....I couldn't eat it last week but now I can what else u eating ? I have one more week 3/7 on to semi soft

OMG! My mouth is watering for those beans!! I'm 9 days post op and have to be on liquids for 2 weeks. Several more days!!

I'm 3 days post op had GB 2/25. I came home yesterday. I'm trying to stay off the pain meds bc I feel super buzzed and can't concentrate. My pain has been ok. Was much better after they removed the drainage tube, I think it was on a nerve. So I am trying to focus more on getting my liquids in and my vitamins and mayb one protein shake. Only bc it all seems overwhelming and I can sip on a cup of plain coffee and get 10 oz in and switch to flavored water. My discharge nurse said focus on staying hydrated first. So that is my goal. I gained almost 10 pounds of fluid but I'm not worried about that. I will wait for my first dr appt in 10 days to figure out my weight loss.

Well I made it through and came home today. Having the cold and a bad cough probably made everything twice as bad...especially with sleeping. I am just starting to feel clear enough to post. Still pain is terrible when I cough. At least I know it's only going to get better.

Welcome to the other side. hang in there crosby get well soon

The struggle is real !

Glad to see Crosby home!

And it's March! That means we are all on the losers bench. We did it!!!!!

I can't hardly believe that we did this. Sometimes I want someone to pinch me!
