I have been struggling to drink all of my protein shakes. I have managed to get about 1/2 to 3/4 of one down a day. I am sipping slow and making sure that I am allowing each sip to go down. Yesterday I found protein shots by Body Fortress. No sugar and 26 gms of protein in each serving which is about 3 ounces. These will be a godsend for me. I am still drinking my shake, but knowing I can drink one of these to get my protein in really helps me right now. So today I had one shake, a shot, 1/2 cup of broth and a sf applesauce. And I am still sipping the same low cal gatorade from yesterday, but it is almost down.

I think at this point it is a mind game since there is really not restriction. I am really not too hungry, just want to make sure that I am doing it all according to my surgeon's orders. I go in for a post-op appointment Tuesday and I really want the steri-strips off, they are a bit annoying now. Also my rash seems to be going away. It has a dry appearance to it and still it quite a bit itchy. I also am not red like Mr Krabs on Spongebob anymore either. LOL! That was very unattractive. I just hope it continues to go away. I have one last day to rest and then it is back to the rat race on Tuesday!
