Hey guys...just thought I would let you all know I am still around and struggling to get my protein and water in daily....went over to get the staples removed and that was a non-event...no pain no problems...Rinnet thinks I may be getting mal-nourished and dehydrated too...so try harder she said...SURE.....I had maybe 1/2 cup of Carn Instant B'fast the other night for supper and my stomach wouldn't stop bubbling and then bad stomach cramps...hard to know what to eat. I only have 5 days left of the "mushys" then I can start to try regular food. START and TRY are the 2 important words in that sentence.
I am down a total of 50lbs since Feb...and 23 since the surgery....but man oh man if I don't start to get some engery back soon, I may just stay in bed all summer, not really, but with the rainy days lately...it is tempting.
Anyway...anyone got any suggestions for those first days of Reg food??? Any ideas are welcome....
