Topic: Callorie intake post op
OK I am confused...
In the paper work I was given from my surgeon it says that up to 2 weeks out the average calorie intake is 200 calories.
Now with 2 protein supplements of injury mixed with milk and the isopure drink, all that they told me I should be drinking that alone is 520 calories, with 96 grams of protein. That is the the calorie range for almost 3 months out.
How am I supposed to get that much protein in and be at 200 calories? I have my first post op Wednesday and will be asking about that. I just don't see how that works.
What is the average that post ops are getting ?

one other thing. i haven't been very hungry since about day 4. Today I didn't eat at all until 4pm because of my stress test and i still wasn't hungry. i'm hoping this will help with hunger after the surgery, that we're already used to not eating.

Topic: Update: disaster- abnormal ekg
hi all. thanks for your support. so, I went to the cardiologist today- he had me do a stress test. according to the nurses, everything looked fine. so, hopefully tomorrow the doctor will call and say everything is a go. cross your fingers, please! This just reaffirms that i am doing the right thing. i need to get healthy so i can live a full life- both length and quality. With my cholesterol, and my sleep apnea, that's not gonna happen unless i make it happen.
