Cape Crooner 589 Posted October 11, 2015 Boston Day 5 Update: I couldn't be happier with where I am. 1. NWH lets us eat a 900 calorie diet up to the night before surgery and blended 48 hours after surgery, so I never had to endure the liquid diet ordeal. 2. I have been building up my diet and drinking since Thursday. Yesterday I ate about 700 calories and almost 70 grams of Protein. I'm having no problem drinking over 64 ounces a day. 3. Almost no pain - just on the sutures. I can tell if I eat/drink too fast, but I wouldn't call it pain. 4. I'm sleeping soundly, but only about 7 hours a night. That means in bed at 9:00 and up at 4:00, which is creeping out the neighbors. 5. Been walking since Day 2 - a mile a day in the hospital. Yesterday I went out for over an hour (5 miles). 6. Started driving Friday. 7. Weight HW: 281 - 40.2 SW: 250 CW: 245 I know it's early in my post-opt journey, but it's going much better than I expected.
