You got this one - well done... take it slow and everything will realign itself and start working again.
If anyone knows a way to get on optifast program without having to buy from US, let me know please
I went back to work after 3 weeks.
The first while I did short walks, watched TV and spent a ton of time just working at getting all my meds, vitamins and fluids in - along with the protein shakes.
I had visitors that helped pass the time. I did some cooking and meal prep for later stages. I read. I went to a couple of movies.
By week 2 I was taking my dogs for walks in the conservation area. I hung out at Indigo, went shopping, went to a support group meeting.
I tried to keep busy, and active while still taking the time to rest.

I hear a lot of people supplement with biotin. Some take as much as 10,000 mg per day.
As for the pomegranates, how far out are you? I never had a problem with nuts or seeds but some do. You won't know until you try....let us know how it goes.

Today I'm going to school... I can't believe I'm saying that lol. I'm still on leave but I'm going to see some friends and my advisor. It's going to be a long day for us but it will be nice to catch up with everyone.
Post-op three years and nine months.
Breakfast - Greek yogurt and waaaay too many blueberries -- does anyone else ever misjudge how much is left in a package? I thought there was only about a serving left. Apparently there was quite a bit more but it was already in my bowl.
Snack - protein bar
Lunch - tbd restaurant
Snack - nut mix
Dinner - leftover beef roast -- it turned out so awesome. Fall off the bone meat and sweet carrots.
Snack - pudding
All water and vits.
