Atina's Gain: 2 Week Post-Op!

I had my post-op appointment today! The Dr. said I'm healing really well, and that I can lift the kids again and begin exercising. And, I can eat! Although I learned quickly its not much! I came home and made myself an egg with some low fat cheddar cheese. I got about 3/4 of it down, and that's all I could hold. Then I went to Wal-Mart and spent an insane amount of money on all new food. Healthy food. Like Greek Yogurt, Cottage Cheese, Chickpeas, tuna, mahi mahi, chicken, and some veggies. I still can't have fibrous foods like stringy veggies, veggie skins, and I can't have tough meats like steak or pork or even dry chicken. If I do eat chicken, it should probably be cooked in the crock pot so its super moist.

After Grocery shopping, I made a mistake. I went to Subway and got some Tuna on flatbread. It was so good. You know, the two bites I got down. But apparently even the flatbread expanded too much in my tiny stomach, and 5 minutes after taking those two bites, they came right back up. So I waited about 30 minutes, and had some greek yogurt. I was full on less than 1/2 cup. I think getting my protein in is going to be a challenge. But, I like the yogurt, and If I can get at least 1 cup per day in I've gotten in 44 grams of protein, and my goal for the entire day is 60 or more. So hopefully I can eat enough to get it all in. If not, I'll check out those protein shots they have at GNC and Wal-Mart, because I can't possibly drink another protein drink. EVER!
