10 day post op

Jan 01, 2009

Staples are out.  I've lost 10 lbs since surgery 26ish since I've begun all this journey.  My belly itches and is just a tad bit sore.  I'm eating soft foods and getting in way more than 64 fluid oz a day.  60-70 grams of protein is good and I'm getting all my vitamins and supplements daily.

Small portions of food are keeping me full until my next meal and I'm being really mindful about the no fluids 30 mins prior and 1 hour after a meal.

My average caloric intake has been around 450 to 500 per day.  I need to increase my calories, because I'm starting to get really weak between meals.  Never thought I would have problems with needing to eat more and not being sure the best way to do it.
