Day 9 Post Op-
Trying to figure out what to eat has been a little bit of a pain. I try to eat often but it involves so much work that it hardly seems worth it. At my pre-op appointment I was 142 pounds, today I am 134. I'm losing almost a pound a day so I have to find a way to get nutrients. I'm lactose intolerant but have been able to use Lactaid Lactose Free Milk and soy products. Below are a few of the recipes I have tried. All of these are obviously blended until smooth.
