  1. Well, all of the posts from others helps!
  2. I was also told that the protein is not as important as keeping hydrated. Dr said this when I left hospital; the protein will raise up once we start eating normal food and not to worry as much about the protein at this point.
    My main struggle is that without thinking I take a gulp of liquid without thinking and does it hurt. I am drinking more now, but it still hurts when I get busy talking, etc. and grab the water etc. and treat it like normal.
    You need to listen to your stomach. I had a few days where that uncomfortable feeling of fullness took over and now I know the signs in myself that it is happening and I stop. Sometimes that means that my protein drink took 1+ hours to drink that small glass - but I did it. I am doing better now and can finish the drink in about 15 minutes or so.
    I have started soft foods (yesterday) and I have to be careful not to overdo it as well. I found that 1/2 cup (about 6-7 bites) is all that I could eat of a Taco Bell Pinto & Beans treat/dinner yesterday. I wanted to finish the entire thing but knew that feeling that if I pushed I would be uncomfortable, so my hubby had to finish the other half.
    A pleasant surprise at my post op with Dr. today -I found out at my post-op check up that I have lost 14# since my surgery and that makes 45# total since I started this process in January.
    Hugs,
    Kathy
