I went in for my diet upgrade appointment today just a day short of 2 weeks post op....and I was expecting to get a puree diet....NOPE......can have actual food ! just chew , chew , chew ! No passta or rice, breads yet, or salad....which I don't like, no skins on fruits. Already had some roasted chicken and mashed potatoes ! I should not of stocked up on stuff ! Oh well...all is good......I'm down 18 lb.s since surgery and about 33 since the pre-op. I also learned that you shouldn't take in more than 26 grams protein at a time. I had made some diet choc. pudding and added protein to that........was told that it is too taxing on the kidneys ! So thought I would pass that info along to those of you that are doing high protein shots....I wonder if anyone else has heard this???? All in all did good....oh this was at Mass General Hospital in Boston. Went on the Duck tours after and Ellen DeGeneris was on the 3 boats in front of me with camera crews and a helicopter crew in the air........gotta get something out of my 2 hour treck into Boston for a 14 min. appointment !
