First Post-Op Visit!

My first post-op visit was Wednesday, December 5th (9 days since surgery). My staples were removed and I purchased my new supplements that I will take the rest of my life! The big news ...

I'm officially down 13 pounds!!! Wahoo!!!

I'm so excited that they weight has started to come off. It's a daily struggle to get in all my water and get enough protein in each day. I think once my diet changes to normal food this won't be such a problem. I'm drinking AES protein shakes (YUCK!) but they have 17g of protein in them. I'm loving the K2O protein waters (5 grams). I should be taking in 60-80 grams of protein per day but I'm only managing 30-40. I'm also supposed to drink 64 oz. of water each day but right now only manage 32-48. I gotta get better at this.

I'm going to see how well I do this weekend and maybe go back to work on Monday. I may need to go for 1/2 days for a week. I'm usually good in the mornings and then poop out mid afternoon.

My next visit is on 1/2/08 to get my G-tube removed - YAY!!!!

So there's your update on me. Hope you all are doing well.
