3rd Week Post Op
I'm new and just signed in today!
I had my surgery on 4/16/09.
Couldn't eat the first week much and barely sipped my protein and Gatorade
2ND week I drank my Gatorade and protein drinks, jello and Popsicles and started to get hungry
3rd week I was very hungry and per Dr Jay's assistant she said I could go ahead and begin with the soft foods which I did and skipped most of the pureed foods. I do eat pudding, applesauce, yogurt, but have also eaten tuna/egg salad which was too heavy so I stuck with soft scrambled egg and/or hard boiled with cottage cheese, re fried low fat beans and sometimes guacamole.
now I'm concerned that I might be gaining weight. my first fill isn't until 5/26.
i know i need to walk and do for about 5/10 minutes at work but not when i get home.
i will have to make that a priority and try to become more active. i do however, move around the house more and try to do housework but sometimes that is limited as well since my port still hurts and i still can't bend down properly because of my port side, left.
i am neutral right now and want to go up to great! which at some point during the day/night i do feel that way.
