remembering, sort of
This time last week, I was being wheeled from the recovery room to my short stay room. I don't recall much, my hysband reports. the doctor told us you did well.
Amazing how things have progressed in just 1 week. I have nearly lost the 15# of water weight I gained in the hospital. My incisions are healing nicely and I am off the narcotics for pain. Just bring on the tylenol a few times a day. I am getting fluids in easier, the carnation shakes are still ok. I haven't had anything warm to speak of to eat since the broth in the hospital. Just struck my attention. Maybe a cup of broth this evening does sound like a good idea. I just did a tally of my fluids for today, just over 80 oz. I do believe that I can do this. Now I need to work harder on getting my calcium in. Started my b12 today, getting both my multivitamins and Vit D3 in. Spacing the supplements out is my next project.
How is everyone else doing?
Hugs, Kathy

Hey sweety! You are doing great! Make sure you suplement iron too. Very important, but do not take within 2 hrs of calcium. I take multi vits with ca am and pm and my iron noonish.
Keep up the great work!
Hugs!
I am doing ok, but that last .4 to .6 lbs is teasing me with getting to 100 lbs down. Maybe in the morning?! Will let ya know!

Lost 114 lbs. working on getting rid of a recent 10 lb regain...and WILL succeed!
My iron dose is in my multiple with minerals. No extra for the time being, I will ask again with my followup on the 16th. Working on finding a calcium that I like, so far the taste is ?????
Only have 1-2 # of water weight from surgery left, then the real losing can start. Thinking of you getting to that 100# loss, so close you can taste it.
Headed to bed with benadryl on board. Hoping for a good night's sleep.
Nighty nite everyone. Hugs, Kathy

Hey Kathy... Have you tried The Building Blocks Calcium chewables? I have tried umteen different ones, and those are the ones I find most pleasant. Nice flavor kinda fruity. But all in all not bad at all!
