One week post-op

I am 1 week post-op. My weight loss is pretty steady. About 1-1 1/2 pounds a day. Is this a good loss? Found out my hemoglobin is low and feeling really tired. Trying to get in more protein. I am drinking a premier protein shake every morning for breakfast. This is 30 gms protein with 1 gm sugar and 160 cal. Got my fluid intake up to 10 cps yesterday!

All in all I feel pretty good and have no regrets about the surgery. Thanksgiving weekend is coming up and I may cheat by a couple of days and try a bit of mashed sweet potatoes and a bite of turkey.

Does anyone know how soon after surgery it is OK to get a flu shot? Tis the season and I fall in the high risk category so would like to get it as soon as possible.

Take care everyone.

Jo Jo, I am 1 week post op too, doing well, food is going in well, no issues THANK GOODNESS, was really scared of that.  I am not having an issue with the soup thing, always have liked soup so no problem, although I had a extreme craving for tuna yesterday........mmmmmmm meat!!! LOL  I am doing well with energy, but do get pooped out if I pu**** too much.  Thinking the same about this weekend, some mashed potoatoes and maybe a little gravy..........we will see.
