DreamLife36 6 Posted September 5, 2011 I'm not sure if I'm doing this right but I'm supposed to drink one ounce every fifteen minutes. Which leaves no room for anything else. LOL the pain in the incisions are breathtaking, and my stomach feels like it's cramping sometimes. Im in more pain than i thought id be. Ive noticed that I can drink about one and a half ounce before I get full...super full. And I notice that i don't have any cravings... But I would like a crunchy taco right now, just to have that crunch sensation. I promised my doctor that I wouldn't weigh myself before I see him again. My appointment is on Tuesday. But already I can tell that I've lost some weight, just by looking at my neck. One chin down, one more to go LOL. Getting my Protein in is a HUGE challange. liquid stuff is Disgusting. But... If I mix New whey Protein tubes with Water it tastes like crystal light....go figure. One thing I can't stomach is Jell-o... Ugh gross. But other than this I am doing well. Ready to get some cream Soups cause this broth ain't cutt'n it :-) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KristeyK 3 Posted September 5, 2011 I hear you! I'm 11 days out and still not allowed cream soups! To think I used to reallllly like the taste of chicken broth. LOL Keep up the good work! If you can, put an ice pack on your abdomen, it really helped me with my pain. (Helps with the swelling some.) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Heather~ Sweetdreams 10 Posted September 5, 2011 I promise it gets better! You will forget all this bad stuff down the road. I already feel like I didn't have it quite as bad as I thought I did and I'm only 7 weeks post op! Try and be patient ( as hard as it is) and just know that you JUST had surgery and it will take a while. Keep up the good work!
