Topic: RE: Did I Have Surgery? Tell That to My Digestion System
I was telling hubby - if I didn't have incisions, pain from incisions, diarrhea, NOT FEEL HUNGRY, etc...I wouldn't think I HAD surgery!
I can drink/eat my 8oz of soup with no problems, swallow water with no problems, take all my PILL meds (no chewables)....I thought there was like a 4oz limit on the pouch.....
It's just weird.
And I am down 17lbs since surgery.

Topic: Still dizzy
So I have been taking 10-15mg oxycodone at nighttime for sleeping pain free....sometimes adding some Benadryl for the itchiness I get, too. But I was wondering, since dizziness is a side effect from the oxycodone would it go away if I stopped taking it?
I didn't take any last night. I took some liquid (NASTY) Tylenol and a benadryl today at naptime...and now it's 12:45AM and I am STILL freaking dizzy!!! WHAT GIVES???
Am I not "eating" enough? I've been averaging 500-600 calories a day. I get in 60+oz of fluids. I get at least 60gram of protein as well (protein shakes plus scoop of 20g unjury unflavored in my soup).
Please please please make it go away =(
I go for my 2 week post-op tomorrow and will see both my surgeon and my NUT. I'll ask them both what I can do.

Topic: RE: Day 12 and Overdoing It!
I'm doing great, thank you for asking! I've been very lucky with my recovery. My pouch prefers warm stuff. I like SF apple cider, SF hot cocoa, and peppermint tea. I really struggle with getting enough liquids in, but that seems to be a problem for almost everyone post-op.
I surrendered my scale (I was obsessing) so I have no idea how much I've lost so far, but at my 2 week appointment I was down 9 lbs.
I'm glad you are able to relax!! I hope you got your son to sleep.
You should try and get some sleep too!

Topic: RE: Protein Pudding 2 Ounces =25 Grams Protein
I made some sf/ff lemon pudding (small box) with 2 cups of 8th continent light vanilla soy milk and 1/3c nonfat powdered milk. Then for each serving added a scoop of unjury unflavored, totaling 155 calories and 25 grams protein. Amazingly it still tasted like lemon =P

Topic: RE: Sip Sip Sipping
I hate sipping. I swear I'm drinking too fast, but I only get in 64oz a day...if I'm lucky. hubby keeps on me.
He tells me at the end of the day if I did well or not =P
