    What is Wrong with ME?

    Why hide the fact -take all the complements you can earned them. People say we took the easily way out I say you doit and tell me how easy it is. I changed my life 180 degrees for the better
  6. At this stage I would just worry about the protein and hydrating. With my proteins iam getting around 500 calories a day. To be honest I didn't think about counting calories yet. I advanced to purée food on Saturday and today I had about 510 calories again I didn't count until I read this thread. We are going thru a lot I think it is more important to make sure you are hydrating and getting your proteins in.This will make your body heal faster and when we get to soft/mushy foods than we will start worrying about it.JMO
  7. Just hang in there and stay focused . It's head hunger these cravings your getting. That is crazy you were able to eat all that at 11 days out you have to be carful we don't want see you to injure your self. When i i have been getting these cravings I have been just drinking lots of water and if its to bad I go for a walk. I am 11 days post op and I had to advance my diet -I did it with out talkin to my Nut. I was feeling back to normal and I needed some substance example purée shrimp parm, 4 shrimp ,table spoon of Garvey , pinch of low cal Mozzetta cheese ,I throw in my ninja and its the best thing I tasted in a long time 22grams of protein on top of it. Just do your best to stay focused and tell your nut or doc what you did they might to chk you out. Good luck hang in there
  8. I felt pretty good yesterday iam one week out all my pains are except the left side hurts when breath in and starting to get a little pain in my left shoulder. I took some gas x and some of the pain on the left side of me chest has subsided. Is it just gas?No fever no dizziness. I have been doing things to the T! I am freaking out a little as usual. Down 28 lbs in 7 days.
