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 T.J. and welcome back. We are all very proud of you. Just remember everything the dr and dietician told you and keep up the good work!!!

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! Melissa
