My surgeon was great but I'm kind of on my own post op. I read Carnie Wilson's book "I'm Still Hungry" and it was truely great I loved it. I'm looking at what everyone is eating post op. I know I'm suppose to do at least 64 fluid oz of water but how much protein and stuff like that? Here is what I"m doing now. Morning is some crystal light with icky pain meds this carb free protein shake that tastes good and has 21 grams of protein. I can drink about 1/4 to half of it. water and or crystal light flintstones vitamin some mroe of the protein shake try to fini**** blood thinner shot. My doc sent me home on them he said he would rather be safe then sorry so on them until 10 days post op and my husband injects me and it isn't that bad. chicken noodle soup. I use the good stuff that has the chicken and egg noodles in it cause I like the taste better. I eat mostly the broth but have had a few of the noodles, chicken, and carrots(Istay away from the celery in it becuase gas is bad enough as it is) when I say few I mean about 1 or 2 teeny pieces of each. And I chew it up so that it is pretty much liquid before it even goes down. 2 crackers. water adn or crystal light, maybe more pain meds. protein shake again about a 1/4 to half of the can. water water water. either shake or some more soup eaten like before. pain meds with crystal light and off to la la land. Now of course in between all of this is approx 57 trips to the bathroom lol. We pee out our fat and i try to stay excited about it so that it doesn't seem as annoying as it is. There is my day how is yours? Starting weight was 280, 306 after surgery(gained 26 pounds in fluid) 6 days post op I'm at 290.

I wanted to add that I tried something new this morning. I ate half a scrambled egg made with skim milk and some pepper on it. I had a tiny bit of salsa on the side to but just the sauce not the texture stuff. I pretty much let it disolve in my mouth and then swallow. I'll let you know if I have any problems with it. lol.
