Whelp, it's been a little over 6 weeks for me. Everything seems to be going good.
I had my appointment on Friday. My nutritionist gave me all kinds of kudos and said I was his easiest patient. I am eating perfectly, loosing a head of schedule and from his side of things doing everything right. He just encouraged me to continue to keep trying to add back in different foods and not get stuck in a cycle of eating the same thing over and over. All foods have different benefits and nutrients. Eat protein first (as we all know) and then try to get some veggies and fruits in (carbs if there's room)
I have been getting a few bites of veggies for a little over a week now but I have not tried any fruits. I actually was never a huge fruit person. Every once in a while I would eat some and mostly grapes.
From the surgeons side of things, I am healed up great and cleared for swimming and working out but I have to have an ultrasound.
During our bowel movement convo. I mentioned my weirdly light tan/almost white colored poo. He said because I have no other side effects it is probably just the natural color based on my current diet but it could be a sign of much more serious things. (Bile blockage, gall bladder issues, LIVER FAILURE...shesh) The ultrasound is for piece of mind, just to be safe. I am the kind of person that doesn't worry until I need to so I am currently not bothered by it, but have an apt. for this Thursday.
