10 days post abdominal surgery, I am beginning to feel like a real person again. The pain at the surgical site is till there, but certainly decreasing everyday. I am still about 5 weeks out from resuming all of my regular duties. Thankfully, the appetite is back and am trying to keep myself at 1500 - 2000 calories per day. Oddly, I gained about 10 pounds in weight for 3 days after surgery. But, I am back to where I was the day of surgery. My wife always serves some really delicious meals for dinner. And we have our normal egg & toast breakfast or oatmeal breakfast to start the day. Probably 5 days out of 7 we have a large vegetable salad with cottage cheese and fruit. Generally, the combined total calorie count for breakfast and lunch is between 650 to 750 calories which leaves somewhere between 850 to 1200 calories for dinner & a snack depending on what is prepared. I still want to (re)lose about 12 - 18 pounds. Though my pants do fit, it would go a long way toward me being more comfortable in my some cuts that do not conform to my body type. Best to all of you on this site. Keep moving, keep focused, and be well.
