I weighed myself this morning and Im 299... well thats the average of the 3 weights I took. Yeah!

My first weight after surgery was around 306ish... so I immediately got off the scale... since I didn't want to get depressed... efven though I knew it was from the IV fluids...

I am so gratefull... I have had almost no nausea and no vomiting. I think I had a slight dumping episode yesterday... the cream of rice cereal I was eating got too thick... and i was almost done.. and I started getting sweaty and light headed... and didnt feel too good... but after I laid down for 15-20 minutes I felt fine.

So far the only protein drink that has not tasted very good was some strawberry.. but that's why I have many to choose from... i had the Champion Cookies and Cream yesterday... and that tasted great.

The only thing that feels weird... is that I am either drinking... waiting to eat... eating... waiting to drink... and back to drinking... but I guess thats my job now... Quesion... do I get to count my protein drink liquid in my total liquid for the day?

I hope everyone is have a great weekend....

no protein shakes are what your protein intake is... liquids are H2O

I counted my shakes as liquid for the day, I had a very hard time getting enough in early on though. Good to practice waiting to drink before and after your "meals" though.

Sounds like you are doing great Helen, glad to hear a little update!

Glad to hear that things are going well for you. Keep up the good work. I was told that your protein drink counts toward in total liquid intake, but I have not had surgery yet!

Hey Helen - glad to hear you're doing so great!! My nut told me that a protein drink counts toward your daily liquid intake, but also counts as a meal, not just a fluid - so two in one - and had me wait the 30 minutes before and after the protein drink to drink any other fluids.
