bet you wish I would leave again

just doing Ruth's job, I know she has a busy night, so this is what I ate today:

B: 2 coffee's, 1 wasa crac, 1 sl cheese, turkey pepporoni
S: Zuchinni and tom cassarole/w cheese 1c
L: Zuchinni and Tom Cass 1 c, Boca pattie
S: LF Yogurt w/fresh strawb.
D: small salad w/ff dressing, 1 taco/hamb/cheese, 1/2 egg sand/mayo (shouldn't have)
S: slice cheese and turkey pepperroni


Wow, lots of cheese today
64 oz water

This will be easy....

B: water, vitamin
S: water
L: water
S: water
D: 1/2 c. protein shake, just to see if it will kill the grumbles and emptiness
S: more water

and with as much water as I am drinking I'm still not even close to 64oz. lol

Honey shouldn't you be eating a little more? jello, popsicles?? what can you have now?

I was told the first week the most important thing was to stay hydrated.
I havent had any appetite the past 2 days so I was just concentrating on water. I did have 2 4oz. apple juice boxes yesterday. (but I didnt finish them)
I am so picky as to what I eat, that I'm not sure what to have.  I had no issues with the protein shakes for 2wks before surgery now they kinda turn my stomach. The thought of blended food isnt appealing either.
 I have the sf pops, sf jello, lite yogurt, applesauce.... just no appetite to have any.
And to top if off Ive had a annoying headache all day thats bugging me and tylenol hasnt touched it. I assume its because of just having water in my system huh?!?!

Do you still have the runs?  (sorry if that's too personal!!)  Is it getting any better?  Seems like water would run right through you...maybe that's why the belly has the grumbles?  When can you start other foods?  Just curious...I know every surgeon is different!   Hope you are feeling ok!!!!  Keep us posted!  Ruth
