10 Days Post Op & feeling Great!

Hello All My surgery was 10/04/04,weighed in at 224.6. My first post op visit was yeasterday. They removed the staples and everything looks great. I do still have a lot of pain at the lower left incision, but all in all, I FEEL GREAT!! Weighed in at 213.0. Right now I seem to be losing about a pound a day! I am only consuming about 40-50 grams of protein daily. I know that I must increase this to 60-80. My new strategey-I switched to Adkins shakes for the time being and am looking into getting flavorless protein powder that can be added to eggs or cottage cheese. I am taking Centrum chewable vitamin plus 1 B1 tab and 2 B12 sublinguals daily. My daily meds have been reduced already! Can't wait for my next post op visit.

Hi, I am glad to hear you are feeling so well. Congratulations I hope to join you soon on the losing side. Keep a seat warm for me! Robin G having DS surgery 10/26/04

Thanks for the info. Congratulations. Please tell me, what did you do to get the 40 to 50 grams of protein per day? I just don't feel that I am getting it in, and shamefully, am not writing things down. Please let me know what you used as a full liquids diet? Thanks for your help?
