11 days post op-Wanted to say hi!!
Hi Everyone.
Feeling better today. My muscles around the incisions are healing well and I feel better. It can be hard to walk sometimes due to the pain at the incisions. I am off of my pain meds, but I have a slight sore throat. I think and worry about failure sometimes only because I starting to transition onto other foods and I worry about overeating. I know this is normal though. My husband tells me to calm down because he can pyschically see that I am eating very little.
I get to ty some new foods this week. I tried tomato soup yesterday which was too acidic so I wont try that again for a while. I tried cream of potatoe soup today made with Carb Countdown Skim Milk. It was good, but afterwards I got warm and a little dizzy. I may have eaten too much or maybe the milk didnt agree with me. I am going to try something new for dinner. Still sippin my water and diluted crystal light in between meals making sure I dont drink 30 minutes before of after a meal which is harder than I thought. I will start my protein shakes tomorrow.
I just wanted to say hi,
Tori
Congratulations!
Don't worry about eating too much. Just get yourself a measuring cup. Whatever amount your Dr. told you...shove it in the cup and you're good.
That is what I did for my husband. I got a stainless steel measuring cup and made whatever...stuck it in there and plopped it on a plate. Or bowl if it wasn't plate-able.
Good Luck! You're doing great!
