So I had my surgery on 9/8/10. I am suprising feeling GREAT! It's amazing just how good I feel just 11 days PO.
I have to THANK my sugreon and new buddy - Dr Hans Schmidt from Paramus, NJ. I am so very happy that I made this decision to finally stop talking about things and do them.
Thank you so much for making me feel like your only patient the day of the surgery and even now. I am forever greatful!
So I am now on Stage 2 - Puree/Mushy food and I have been struggling with my protein intake. I have been really trying to make the 70 grams requirement without taking protein drinks but in all reality I had to stop and face the fact that I am still only 11 days out and need all the help I can get from the protein shakes.
I pickup my vitamins and protein shakes this morning. I realize now that the amount of food is still too small for me to compose the correct amount of protein to help my body lean and reduce fat. AND THAT IS WHAT ITS ALL ABOUT...LOSING WEIGHT.
So to everyone that has gone through this and has help me out - THANKS. I just wanted to figure this out without the shakes.
Good luck to all that have had the surgery. KEEP UP THE GOOD JOB.
