Day 3 & 4 of liquid diet

OK, so I'm putting both days together because both these days were bad. Headaches were terrible trying to keep up on the water, shakes, vitamins, and broth intake is an around the clock thing. Day 3 was managable until about 10:30 at night when I couldn't stop throwing up. Up until 4 am I couldn't keep anything down. I woke up on Day 4 with my occipital Nerve pinched from throwing up so much. Day 4 was spent recovering from the throwing up and the pinched nerve. Still trying to get the hang of things. I have learned that sugar free items are much more sweeter than normal foods. They are sickening sweet. I'm now going to try to find recipes for homemade jello and Gatorade.

Day 1

I woke up several times during the night. But that is to be expected. I couldn't get comfortable until they brought me a heating pad for my back. As long as I keep up with my pain meds I'm good. When they told me of the gas that they pump into my body to open up where they needed to cut my stomach is no joke. The discomfort from the gas is terrible. But I've been walking around and it has started to disappear. Breakfast and lunch and dinner will be broth with protein in it. Tomorrow I get to start back on my protein shakes. I can't wait! Hopefully in 2 weeks I will be on soft foods!

1 Week post op!

I haven't written much since last week. I feel that a weekly update is better than a daily update.  So I weighed myself on Friday. That weight was 215.7. If you've been following along, that is roughly 18 lbs lost since the day of surgery!! I am on full liquids. I can have soup, protein shakes, sugar free jello, broth, and water. Not many options, but the soup is a nice change of pace! My clothes are feeling a little looser, but not much. I can tell a difference at least. I have a bunch more energy now. Yesterday, I cleared out my flower garden in the front. I could have continued, but I need to get a saw so I can cut a tree down that has decided to take up residence in the front yard. I am drinking/eating anywhere between 40 and 75g of protein. I am trying to get all my water in (64oz) but it is really difficult. I keep at it though. Hopefully next week I will be on soft foods and I can start eating eggs and other soft foods again! I miss chewing.
