11 Day Post Op: The Battle Over Taste and Protein

[ShareeB 38]

Well, I'm 11 Days Post Op! I am much better than my last video post were I had an emotional breakdown moment. This road is not without challenges... But no success is birthed in failures and the refusal to give up.

I didn't have a drain so I didn't go through that. Things will get better with time. It took about 6 months to reach my happy state. Shortly after surgery, food is relatively unimportant. This is because you body is converting stored fat into the energy that runs your body. As a result your body loses weight. The important elements are Protein, Vitamins and fluids. In the beginning you need to be on Protein shakes. I was taking 3 Protein Shakes a day in the beginning. As I obtained more Protein from foods as my meal volume allotment increased, I reduced this to 2 shakes a day, then 1 shakes a day and finally none (when my volume was at 1 cup per meal).

Great video! Glad you got the drain out. You definitely look like you're feeling better. Congrats!
