Guest guest Posted September 12, 2006 Report Share Posted September 12, 2006 Hi everyone. I am 12 days out and I seen the surgeon and the nutrition department today. I AM off ALL my medications and the insulins I was on. My blood pressure was great, my sugars were in good range and I lost 17 lbs since my surgery. My stitches are dissolving nicely and I can now remove all the steri-strips. I have no signs of infection and I now need to just massage vitamin E cream on my incision. I go back to the nutrition department and that Dr in 2 weeks, at which time I am able to drive. I have not yet been told I can go back to work. I talked to them about the protein shakes. They referred me to GNC. They have a new high protein drink available (in about 7 fruity flavors) with 40 grams of protein per drink. It's called Isopure. They are a bit pricey, but I must get my protein in and I am not a milk or milkshake drinker. I have been promoted to stage 2 now, so I had 2 oz of eggbeaters and an ounce of cottage cheese for dinner. I am feeling great and just amazed at the weight loss in just 12 days!! WHOOHOO!!!! I've just entered Loserville!! Best wishes to all, Audrey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
