Wow! I'm having trouble with 30-40. I guess I just keep pluggin

along.

kept and give some sample menus of how I did that --- I think a lot of recent

post-ops may be really interested in that. As I mentioned, most of the

protein came from dairy products and protein supplements (shakes/bars), but I

DID get it in! It wasn't that difficult, either! Then again, I was able

to eat 4 oz at a time and didn't experience nausea/aversion to foods, so I

know that definately helped me to get everything in.

You are doing GREAT!!! I hope that my daily logs can help you in making more

high-protein choices and I hope those kinds of foods 'sit well' with you as

an immediate post-op! I'll send some to the list asap! Just got ot find

that journal, man!

all the best,

,

I would like a copy of that journal/list also. With all the nausea I had

the first 6 - 7 weeks, I have not gotten enough protein in, and I am so sick

of what I have been able to eat so far.

Thanks

You are THE BEST--and I mean that! So far, have been doing dairy,

beans, and other scary new foods with no problems--knock on wood.

You're lucky that I'm already married, , or I'd go hunt you

down!

Eternally yours in devotion and luv,
