GOOD MONDAY MORNING ALL!
Hi all! I am 13 days out from surgery......and have some questions. Any input is appreciated!
* Yesterday I ate about 1/2 cup vegetable soup and 1/2 of a corn muffin and didn't feel full. is this normal? did I eat too much? note: I haven't really felt "full" yet. I just normally eat a few bites and stop.
* I am taking this nasty protein supplement "Proteinex". This is the only thing that has nearly made me 
, but I take it anyway b/c it is 15 grams per 2 TBSP and right now I cannot stomach shakes. I literally hold my nose, shoot the protein, then shoot listerine, swi**** around and hope it gets the taste out of my mouth, then let go of my nose! Does anyone know of any other proteins that can be taken by the spoonful with any better taste?
* Nothing has made me sick or nauseaus yet. I know, I should be thankful (and I am).......but I'm wondering if I really had surgery b/c I don't "feel" any different. I hear everyone talk about how this or that makes them sick.....not me. I know I should be happy, and I am, but has anyone else had this easy a time? I havent really had any head hunger or cravings that I couldn't handle. when i'm hungry, I eat. I drink at least 70 oz h20 per day, take the nasty protein and all my vitamins, etc. and have had no problems.
* When can I try a glass of wine? I'm going to new orleans in a few weeks and was wondering if it would be too soon.
Of course, I will ask my Dr about all this when I see him next week, but I want your experiences. As always, thanks for all the expertise!
