Leaving now
Hey there,
I got home yesterday and am feeling really good to.. Just sore near stitiches and the port site. Slept well last night for the first time and am only on u over the counter pain meds now. The only "issue" I have is that they pumped me so full of fluids I gained almost 20 lbs from Friday morning (admission) to yesterday when I got home. ARGHHH. I was able to take a water pill when I got home though and have lost 12 lbs already....
What are you eating? I have only had some jello so far. No real desire to eat but I know that I have to.....

Hi. Sorry, I just saw your reply. I went to the Dr. today to get my drain removed, thank goodness!!! I was not feeling too good with the drain, it was very irritating but I feel so much more free with it gone. I lost 17 pounds since the surgery, I couldn't believe it.
Eating is hard when you are not hungry and nothing sounds good. I am having a problem with breakfast; I don't know what to eat. What are you eating? I have had low carb sugarfree yogurt, an egg or protein shake for breakfast but I would like to find other things. I would love some cream of wheat but I am on no/low carbs and I have to get in 60 grams of protein (which is impossible at this point) but it's hard to find things that don't have too many carbs. For lunch/dinner I have had tuna, chicken, cheese, crab, egg but I'm getting bored. I can start solids on Friday.

WOW.. I got my drain taken out before I left the hospital. I can't imagine going home with that thing. I think it hurt worse than the stitches.
I really don't eat much for breakfast. I usually do the Adkins ready to serve protein drink cut with skim milk in the morning and then whatever I can think of for lunch. Yesterday it was just a piece of lunch meat. I ate a couple of shrimp one day this week from the Japanese rest. my friends drug me to. All I kept thinkin was it was a waste of money lol... I really want grits or potatos for some reason but have been very strong and not given in. I made a deal with myself that after I ate the protein if I was still carving I may make a little portion but so far I have not wanted it.
I'm like you, I really do not care about eating too much right now...Trying to just stay pure protein and drinkin lots of water. I started the bariatric multi vitamin Monday after my follow up appt and will say that I feel better/more energy.
Good luck. Keep in touch.
