I have my Post-Op Class later today and hope to pick up some tips on how to ensure that I get all the nutrients/vitamins I need. I have no problem with getting enough Protein - usually get more than recommended. I have found out that milk can be a snack or meal.
Just want to ensure I am doing all I can to get the results I'm aiming for. Still quite bloated from surgery on the 5th and very tender on upper right side when getting up or walking. I am assuming this is quite normal, but will have a better idea after listening to other individuals experiences at this point.
I am really impressed that I received two separate calls yesterday afternoon from Weight Management Nurses checking on how I was feeling and offering some insight/suggestions to help me go through this lifestyle change. I have a post-op appointment tomorrow with my Dr., and one with my surgeon next Thursday.
Hope everyone is having a good day. I looked out the kitchen windows this a.m. and saw a deer standing right on the river ice/snow beside the dock. It was so beautiful and then it bounded away swishing its big fluffy white tail.

So glad to hear the Weight Management Nurses are checking in with you. My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at noon and I hope the team is as attentive as yours! I'm getting pretty excited to get it done as I've been working toward this for a year.0

Good luck, I'll be thinking of you. If your experience is anything like mine, you won't remember much about today or tomorrow.:happy:0

Well, surgery was on Wednesday afternoon and I got out of the hospital late afternoon yesterday. I'm doing ok but it's definitely been challenging. The gas pain, like I've heard from so many people, is the worst part. And it's been really hard meeting the protein and liquid goals but (insert Scarlett O'Hara here) I'll think about that tomorrow. I got in a couple of good length walks today and spread out some beads to sit down and work with tomorrow...maybe make some earrings or bracelets. Anything besides TV!
No calls from my doctor's office yet but it is the weekend. Looking forward to tomorrow!0
