191lbs. Down 19lbs since Surgery day Nov 9.
I have been living off of Isopure Protein drinks. I found my favorite flavors are Blue Raspberry, Grape, and Coconut. I have to set an alarm to go off every 15 min to remember to drink 2oz. When I get behind on my protein I feel so tired, I could just lay down all day. When I stay on top of my protein I feel really good.
Yesterday was Thanksgiving. I knew when I scheduled my surgery I would be on liquids for Thanksgiving. That was OK with me. I wanted the surgery more than food. I made a Chx tortilla soup and that went down pretty good. I tried a small amt of mashed potatoes, covered it in gravy, and added lots of chx broth. Even watered down, they wouldn't go down my new little tummy. But the soup, I was able to take a couple bites a few times. That tasted so good.
For the first 18 days I lost a pound a day. Now that I've added chx broth and soup I'm not losing that any more. I'm not worried, who can sustain a pound a day??
Since when I had surgery my liver was so large and fatty, I need to really watch carbs. I'm trying to do more research on what that means I CAN eat :) Dr told me to keep carbs to 40g or less a day. That is not an easy goal.
I have started having some protein shakes that made with milk or OJ but need to really limit those due to the carbs. Just wanted some change of taste.
