Hi ,

Prior to PS I had been having 1 protein bar a day as amid afternoon

snack because I've always had a hard time drinking the shakes (w/

water, not milk products) I was taking in about 75 g's a day between

meals and the bar. Since PS I've added a second bar but decreased my

food intake because I'm just not hungry and I'm struggling to make

the protein choices. My head is crying out for salty snacks for some

reason and I'm working hard to avoid that pitfall. Right now I'd have

to say I'm around 90 g's a day.

Looks like I'll have to try and add the liquid because it sounds like

I need quite a bit more if I'm going to up it to 120 g's. Always good

advice and I should have known better. Thanks!

I've never heard of L-Arginine. Can you tell me about this?

Thanks again, !

Just a quick note to everyone who replied to me...THANK YOU!!!

I called my PS today and explained the way my incisions are/aren't

healing that well. He will se me first thing on Friday, but in the

meantime he wants me to cleanse the area at least twice if not 3

times a day and use Neosporing Plus. Then cover with a dressing and

keep it dry (Yucky sink baths!). Since nothing is oozing and the

coloring of the wound is not showing any signs of infection, he

wanted me to make sure I was doing this so as to prevent infection.

I'm not feverish and I don't have any real pain, just tenderness so

I'm taking his advice and holding off until my Friday appointment.

However he did caution me that should anything change, especially the

coloring and tenderness of the skin, to have him paged and he will

meet me to check it out right away.

I guess I feel better about this and I thank everyone who shared

their experience with me. It really helps to know I'm in this alone.

One really psoitive note today. I returned to work after 3 weeks away

and a courier that hangs out behind our building (I've never noticed

him before, but there are always couriers there) remarked to me, " You

look great, you've lost some weight since I've seen you last! "

I thanked him politely and told him that he really made my day. The

whole time I was thinking, " You have no idea, my friend! " LOL

Thanks and Peace,

Trish
