Day 14

Oct 28, 2014

Tommorow will be my 14th day since surgery. I have to say that I am healing well. All pain experienced in the first few days is gone. I am on the full liquid diet right now and having the Unjury Chcken Soup for breakfast. Today I had the Chike coffee shake. For lunch I am drinking my Premier Protein shake. Dinner I have been drinking the Unjury a chicken soup shake. I found that post surgery, I am not able to handle the real sweet shakes like the Bannana one from Chike and some of the OhYeah shakes. I am averaging about 500 to 600 calories a day and maximizing my fluid intake. I am not having any problems meeting my protein requirements. On November 1st I will transition to the puréed stage and am looking forward to some regular food my first one will be eggs. That was a big staple before surgery. I plan to make some soup so include chili. In the mornings I have been experiencing some very minor hunger pains. After drinking my shake, they go away and I don't experience them during the day. Wounds are healing well. Since surgery I have lost 16 lbs. when I started I was 306 and went into surgery at 280. Dur to all the fluids I weight I at 284.  Today I weigh 268. I am glad I had this procedure done and look forward tomy new life. 

While recovering my dad made me homemade split pea soup and when I eat it I mix it with a scoop of the unflovored protein. Mmmmmmmmm

i also have some home made chicken broth, it beats any store bought broth.

i will update my blog in a few days once I am on puréed foods.
