Wow! I woke up this morning excited I was a week out but man - absolutely no energy at all today. Thank goodness I did not have anything important going on and could rest today. I also got to start on the puree stage - which makes me nervous about what I can eat.
I started off with a little bit of Cream of Wheat with some splenda - needed some butter and brown sugar! Guess I still have a long way to go in conquering my food addictions! I had some greek yogurt and a GNC Total lean shake - I like those! My stomach felt a little upset - had some Tums and some Lactaid with the yogurt. Hope I can eat these since I'm starting to become more lactose intolerant.
I called the doctor's office on my weakness - the nurse said I needed to get some calories in - that was hard to do on the clear liquid diet. I can also take the chewable vitamins now and also a chewable B12. Hope this helps. My blood pressure was totally normal today without medication - weird since it was high Friday & Saturday with medication - guess the healing is taking place. I will see my internist this week and am documenting the BP.
Good news is that I'm down 10 lbs since last Monday!! Yeah!
