5 Days post op.

[Dtru 27]

Tried a Protein Shake today two days ahead of schedule.My nurse said depending on how we felt to give it a shot and I drank the whole think and felt great after.I went to the gym and stretched and walked for 10 min on the treadmill then went grocery shopping with the wife.Inhave a gnawing hungry feeling like I'm ready to try some creamy Soup or yogurt but I don't want to push it.I got a little tired after about 3/4 of the shopping so I'm sitting down writing you guys.Ive spoken to a bunch of my boys that had this procedure and asked them if they are eating what they want and after 3-4 months you're on your own kinda just figuring your own limits.For me patience is the key cause I'm ready to test the waters but everyone tells me.....be careful...It hurts.Hope you guys are all well.

I was given a protien shake the next day, I'm not real enthused about them. Honestly I'm still not able to intake all the protien or Water. I try, but unsuccessful. Like you, I can't wait till I can have Soups and mashed potatoes. Yum. Most everyone I've spoke to eat what they want within the first few months with the exception of red meat like steak. I'm not going to test the waters, to afraid of the consequences.
