Daily Food and Exercise Log
On my state page, we post our daily food log and excercise. It helps to get me prepared for what I will eat during the day and keep me committed to the exercise. I was wondering if it might help here. So if you are interested you can begin to post.
B-Carnation Instant Breakfast w/1cup simply smart milk 14G
S- lite & Fit yogurt 2 oz. 2G
L - 1.5 oz tuna 12G
S - lite & fit yogurt 2oz. 2 g
D - Egg Salad w/1 egg 7g, i'll try to get two or three cooked carrot slices in.

Thanks Kelly Great Idea!
I am 9 days out of surgery and cannot have anything but clears until i see my surgeon on monday the 11th. but for now:
B-4 oz sf jello
L-4 oz onion soup broth
S-sf ice pop
D-4 oz wonton broth
and hopefully all my fluids in between.
I am having a hard time getting my fluids down, I went to my reg doctor yesterday and I have a throat infection that is sitting on my middle ear, it started from a problem with the intubation.

Oh that sounds horrible. But you sound up beat which is wonderful. I hope otherwise you are doing well. Monday will be here before you know it and you'll be starting on soft foods, I imagine.
No protein in there? My first two weeks I was on 6 oz/day of a protein shake. the soup broths counted as fluid. But oh well every doctor is different.
See you tomorrow morning
Kelly

1 string cheese

1 oz chicken salad
2 melba toast

4 oz Isopure protein drink

1 meatball with mozzerella cheese and marinara sauce

Drank about 60oz of water today
Walked for about 10 mins today. Need to do more. I didn't do too good today on protein or caclium, but I did GREAT on water!! I plan to drink more before I go to bed tonight.
It's so interesting reading everyone's different diets at similar stages post-op. It seems like the nutritionists can't agree on what works best. I am starting my second week on full liquids and this is what I had yesterday:
B-Carnation Carb Smart Instant Breakfast with 8ox. 1% milk and a scoop of protein powder (33G)
S-Sugar Free Fudgsicle (2G)
L-1 c. Blended Minestrone soup made with 2% American cheese (6G)
D-1 c. Blenderized Lentil soup with 2% American cheese (14 G)
And lots and lots of water and Crystal Light.
I didn't eat 2 other snacks yesterday. I had made some pudding with protein powder about a week ago but it was nasty, so I didn't eat it. :P
I was moved from the liquid diet to the mushy diet (cottage cheese, cremed soup, potatoe, cold cereal) Tuesday evening. My average day goes as this:
B : Protein shake or SF drink with 20 g protein.
no snack ever
L: CIB
Dinner: Protein shake (1/2 cup cottage cheese with salt/pepper)
I did have about 1/2 cup of egg drop soup Tuesday night and the taste was great!
