Hi Judy,
I am following a post operative Bariatric Diet the hospital dietician gave me.
Week#1 64 ozs water fluid a day and protien supplement.
Week #2 which will start Monday YEAH!!!! introdue yogurt,cottage cheese, apple sauce and loose mashed potatoes...all low fat no sugar added.and the dreaded protien shakes...yuck
I'm hungry. But I do know that I need to follow the program and heal.
I think I've lost 9 pounds already....only 81 to go and counting down. I will get my fill in 6 weeks. I am having a hard time sleeping can't get comfy, kind of sore around the port site. The burps are getting better but they still come, I'll try to lean forward hopefully that will help. I've been walking also and of course the housework is never ending so if you need more to do stop on by.
I have to say my family has been very supportive. I was bored yesterday so I cooked a big dinner for them since I have neglected them in that area for the past week and they have been fending for themselves with frozen stuff. During dinner my 8 year old as he is shoveling in his dinner is telling me how aweful the dinner is as the 9 year old tells me it taste terrible as I sip my protien drink.....Kids are too cute.
Have a great day.
Mona
