Won't be able to see NP today
Sorry Shelli...is his office being closed the "norm" for a Friday? Seams like they would send out emails to their patients making them aware of the schedule change?
Try to get in your protein drinks and maybe try some of the cream soups, I know that your concerned about the lack of calories. I have a yummy recipe for Cream of Potato Soup that is very filling...I made it up during my immediate post op.
1 box/carton Swanson's Chicken broth
1 pint Heavy cream
1 bag of Ore Idas's hash browns (cubed one's - not shredded)
1 onion, chopped
1/2 stick of butter
Melt your butter and saute the chopped onion until transparent. Add your broth and potato, bring to a boil and coo****il potatoes are tender. Reduce heat and stir in heavy cream. Salt/pepper to taste.
Really simple and really good! You can put any other add ins you'd like or top dress with cheddar and very fine crumbles of bacon. Makes me want some right now! YUMMY! You would just need to put this in the blender for yourself to get it nice and smooth. Very filling and comforting but not "diet" friendly. Being that your eating very limited calories, I think this could help you a lot.
Best Wishes!

It's not particularly plesant, but you can live off protein drinks... especially the really thin ones (like champion pure whey stack)..
How are you stacking up on those? You're coming tomorrow, right? If so, I can bring you some more to help get you through the weekend.. and I can make you some protein pudding as well. I'd offer to drive to you today, but while working out, I had a massive migraine hit me out of the blue (and I'm here waiting on my meds to kick in.. no driving for me today).

Hi Shelli,
I'm so sorry for your continued discomfort and disappointment. I know that you'll get plenty of help from those at the support group tomorrow.
Hang in there,
Barb
