Had my call last night and all went well, though surgeons aren't a chatty bunch!
- Wants me to up my protein. Getting 60g at the moment, so gagging down some shakes it is. Still hunting for the elusive tasty protein powder!
- Wants me to start incorporating exercise, particularly upper body exercise, to prevent loss of muscle mass. Any ideas? My condo has pools and a gym. I have a kickboard and flippers for swimming, which I have done a handful of times pre-surgery. I'll be heading down to the gym to check it out later (I only remember treadmills) and seeing if my gym shoes still fit!
- I'm still working on resolving my vitamin situation. Calcium and D3 will be arriving this week. Taking a Centrum. Any suggestions on what else I need to add? He just reminded me about the ADEKs and that the blood testing request will come through for my local doctor to order.
- Happy with my weight loss of 13 kg (25% of EWL), with predictions of another 13kg by the three-month mark. Though given I haven't lost anything this week, I'm sceptical!
