Post-op Surgeon meet-up and upcoming Party!
I met with my surgeon (first time post-op) today. He gave me a good report on my incisions and weight loss and that I am doing well. I was informed that my B-12 and Vitamin D were low pre-surgery so got LOTS of samples of everything and instructed on what to do and also, given a prescription for D2 that I have to take three times a week for 6 weeks. I have my first party on Sunday since my operation. There will be lots of food and alcohol...I am still on 4 tbsp. of soft pureed food per meal (three meals a day with 2 protein shake needs a day). I have this vision of me coming with a bariatric tool belt....all my powders, vitamins, and approved foods on one side with my shaker and re-usable water bottle on the other. Ha! Oh yeah, and don't forget the sunscreen (free Vitamin D though!). I've not had a stall (I must be due one later on) and I've not had any problems staying on track (although I really dedicate myself with the adequate fluid intake daily). Any suggestions on the soft pureed stage for food options and an all day Labor Day party on a boat and at a home! I'm thinking I will bring my PB2 peanut butter with my low fat triscuits as this will be ready made and filling. I might be missing something here!
well...i'm coming armed to the teeth and I can't do anything that would hurt me so...I really don't have any options to do anything that would harm myself. But thank you! I really am trying to troubleshoot prior to getting there. I don't want to be stuck in something I can't get out of....I guess worse case, I can just leave. So, there's that. Just thinking about that option makes me feel better. :)
