Kimo. 24 Posted March 3, 2013 Thanks!! I'm getting so excited! I have a super busy weekend planned which will make it go by even faster!! How are you handling things? Things are good. Just physically drained, no energy. Lack of food, but exercising is taking its toll. Other than that I am down 45 Lbs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Once there I was so busy with everything they were doing I didn't have a much time to dwell on what was going on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Other than that I am down 45 Lbs.[/quote'] 45 pounds is awesome!! I am definitely worried about the no energy. I have a demanding job in that aspect. I took an extra 2 weeks off work to get my stuff together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kimo. 24 Posted March 3, 2013 45 pounds is awesome!! I am definitely worried about the no energy. I have a demanding job in that aspect. I took an extra 2 weeks off work to get my stuff together. What do you do (work)? I only took 9 work days off. People thought I was crazy, But i had to go back just to stay busy. Being drained is most likely my own fault, I tend to push myself. Ex. they couldn't keep me in the hospital bed. I was up walking laps around nurses station. Kept teasing me saying I was training for a marathon. lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LG1981 111 Posted March 3, 2013 45 pounds is awesome!! I am definitely worried about the no energy. I have a demanding job in that aspect. I took an extra 2 weeks off work to get my stuff together. I was sleeved 2/12, amd the first 2 weeks I had no energy at all. Now I am on creamed food and I have noticed the change in my energy. Just make sure you pack your creamy Soups right. For example, I do cream of broccoli, spinach, and watercress. Helps A LOT. Best of luck! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was originally going to take 2 weeks off, but I know that my first call would require some weird twisting/lifting/positioning and I didn't want to risk it. Plus I do a lot of lifting and I don't want to go back feeling too weak. 12 hour shifts can be rough! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Best of luck![/quote'] I think cream soups are considered "thick liquids" per my surgeon. I'm required to get 80-100 ounces of thin liquids plus 90 grams of Protein in for 2-3 days BEFORE moving to thick liquids. The "what not to eat" list has me nervous. I don't want to make myself sick or do what I'm not supposed to do... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
