Sorry I haven't been blogging in a few days. I honestly was busy dealing with my almost two year old, and when not with her, trying to spend some time with my husband, heal from surgery, decorate the house for Christmas, and get ready to go back to work today. So, yes, I've been busy. Heh.
So, post-op has been ok. I'm working on upping my fluids, and my protein. It's really hard. I'm not hungry. I'm trying to eat my three meals a day, but I'm never hungry. I have eaten my full two ounces of Jell-O twice. Other than that, I've been getting an ounce when I've been eating. Otherwise, I've been so focused on my liquids and protein, I haven't had the desire to eat.
I had my follow-up appointment yesterday. I met with the dietitian first, one of the post-op dietitians I had never met before. She was very impressed that I was at half my fluids and protein, and I had already bought my vitamins. She said that I can start my full fluids diet on Friday. I'm so excited. I do not want any more Jell-O. :(
Doc walked in, looked at my incisions, said I looked good, I asked if I could go back to work, and she said ok. I have an appointment with her PA in six weeks. :)
I'm having trouble with protein shakes. Premier protein, which I loved pre-op, now tastes like rotten milk. :( Well, I bought some Nectar packets pre-op to try once I was post-op. I was having trouble with the flavors. The dietitian suggested mixing them with some thing else. I've found this helps. Nectar Roadside Lemonade mixed with Great Value Blackberry Lemonade "Crystal Light" is good. Also, Nectar Roadside Lemonade mixed with Diet Meijer Cranberry Lemonade and a little water is also very good. The Crystal Sky mixed with a Meijer lemonade "Crystal Light" is also very good! Kind of tastes like the Kool-Aid blue raspberry lemonade.
Today was my first day back at work. I had planned on taking it very easy, but I ended up walking over to the hospital, and moving the printer/copier in my office... the thing is a beast, but it's on wheels, so, it's not bad. But I'm not going to lie, it was an exhausting day. And then I got to go be super mommy. Now I'm sitting here in my recliner, talking to you guys, and watching reruns of Grey's... because it's Grey's. Also, it's only 8pm, and I can't get myself to go to bed yet. xD
How's everyone else's week going?
