10 Days Post-Op - Blended Diet
Well it has been 10 days since Post-Op. I stopped taking liquid pain meds and moved on to Blended Diet. Soreness has drastically reduced - wore jeans yesterday and that was a little uncomfortable but okay. No more Levonox shots, yeah! (blood thinners). I had gas pains in my left shoulder and that really was painful - it last 2 days and then I burped and pain all gone! What a relief.
I am glad to start the blended diet since I am going back to work tomorrow. However, I hope blended diet really helps with staying full longer. Eating something every two hours is very inconvenient and really does not help me with wanting to cheat because I am hungry all the time. Ugh... I know, Bandster Hell. I feel no restriction so that does not help either. But, sticking to the rules. I need to get the water thing down and get enough in a day. I used to drink 100 ounces a day no problem but I drank all day long even at meals. So I have to adjust that habbit.
I lost 10 pounds during liquid diet but have the feeling it will be maintained due to taking in more calories with Blended Diet. I have Post-Op Doc appointment on Tuesday so will have lots of questions then :smile:
So if anyone has tips on surviving the Blended Diet and always being hungry, please share
