More or less settled in now - pushing protien and h2o

The last 24 hrs have gone without much to note. Less tender at the drain site - and making friends with it as well. Have to live with it for 9 more days like it or not. The protein is going in better - have stuck with chocolate mint 5 ounce shakes that have 23g of protein each - only have to get three of them in and they don't taste too bad. The h2o is a bigger push - I've been able to get close to 30 oz in today including the shakes, so I'm on my way to 64 oz, but that seems like alot of water even without a 1 oz stomach volume. A work in progress. Not expecting much weight change yet, but I stepped on the scale anyhow - 301#, down 4# since surgery. I'll be in the 200#s for the first time in years soon. 300#'s always been my alarm weight - I'd hit 300#, then diet down to 275# only to gain back up to 320# again in a few months. That's over for good I'm sure, now that this surgery has done the trick.

Ta Ta for now.......
