Day 12 Update

Feb 03, 2010

Nothing new.  I missed my post-op appointment with my Dr. yesterday.  I thought it was supposed to be on Friday.  Maybe he was gonna say I could advance to purees early , but now I will never know so, one more day of full-liquids and then on to purees.  I am already planning what I will be eating next week.  MMMMM real food, just in puree form. 

This week I can honestly say I have barely been hungry.  As I sit here I am debating whether I really need to have some soup for dinner.  I had a protein shake this morning (very tasty, I must say, and filling) and then I had to force myself to eat a cup of soup before work and that was like 10 hours ago, and now, since I am not hungry I am wondering if I should eat a little soup anyways to keep my metabolism going.  I can hear my surgeon's voice telling me not to starve...but I'm NOT starving, because I'm not hungry.  Should I eat if I'm not hungry?  I dunno.  Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Tomorrow, after work, since it will be past midnite, I am going to puree some ham and cheese (no bread tho, don't need the carbs) with a little mayo and mustard and have that for dinner.  I am excited!  I got big high-protein plans for this puree week:

Pureed BBQ chicken
Pureed Crab with a splash of lemon juice and butter
Pureed Chicken Salad (I'm gonna use the leftover BBQ chicken, and then add in chopped green onion and red pepper, and maybe a dash of ranch dip)
Pureed Ham and Cheese
And a noodleless lasagna (who needs the noodles anyways? pasta is soo overrated!)
And if I need something sweet, a sugar free, crustless cheesecake.

All this sounds tasty, and yet my stomach is not even growling!

Maybe I can skip the soup, take a few sips of sugar-free lemonade and call it a nite.  Then tomorrow I can just have my soup for lunch.

Laterz.
