Day Five of Post-Op:
The scale smiled at me this morning as the numbers 207 shined … yes, this makes 23 pounds down! Woot!
I have been logging my foods via MyFitnessPal and trying to increase my water intake. My total calories are inline with what my doctor has suggested and I have had no problem with keeping anything down.
Doc wants me on 'full liquids' for two weeks … he said, "the rule of thumbs is, if you can fit it through a straw you can have it!" He then stipulated that I should avoid drinking anything through a straw … too much air and gas! LOL!For now, it's soup! Tomorrow we are going out to dinner with friends and it'll be a mini-test. It's at a restaurant that I wanted to check out before surgery, but we never made it over that way. I plan on looking at the menu up online tonight and praying they have soups! Perhaps a nice broccoli and cheddar … non-chunky, of course!
