October Buddies wanted

I'm doing really well thanks! I have been blessed to not really have many problems. The only ongoing issue I have is severe sciatic pain and I'm guessing they is from positioning in surgery and lack of ability to lay on my sides to sleep due to incisional discomfort. Sigh! All else is right in my world. Started purées Tuesday and all is well but need to purée some meat (which sounds terrible lol) but need the Protein. Struggling to get my Water intake up but I am honestly a happy camper so far!! Thanks for asking.

How are you??

Freelyme- I think I'm doing great considering I'm only 3 days post-op. Lots of noises coming from my tummy though! Feels like gas, and I'm hoping it clears up soon! I'm not sure how I feel about pureed meat, but we do what we have to do! Have you tried "Isopure" zero carb ready made? It's more like Gatorade, and is pretty good. I found it online, but my NUT says some HyVee stores carry it.

Freelyme - oops, you may not know what HyVee even is! It's a grocery store in my area. Where are you located?

The noises get better but haven't noticed them gone yet but I'm only 4 days ahead of you, maybe we'll both be pleased! Glad you are doing well. Baby food meat is terrible. My NUT told me to make my own. Even suggested grabbing ready made rotisserie chicken and using that. I had canned tonight as I couldn't get out to the store. As for the Isopure, I have it but it all tastes GROSS to me, all I taste is the whey Protein not the flavors. I am in Dallas Texas but have GNC that we can get them at (vitamin store). Keep up the good work!!!

The tummy noises will clear up!! It just dawned on me yesterday that they were gone. :-) (I'm 11 days out)

Amylynns - not trying to get too personal here, but how have your bowel habits been? I'm dealing with diarrhea that hits me with very little warning (unfortunately). I'm hoping that by the time I'm able to introduce more solids, that will get better. Also, do you feel like you're able to drink your liquids more normally now vs constant small sips?

@@freelyme - lol, when I first started drinking Isop pre-op, I hated it. I think it's definitely an acquired taste!
