10/21: Day +4

Yesterday was my first full day back from the hospital and being on a full clear liquid diet.  It was actually pretty tough to drink all that liquid down.  I used to drink 6-8 bottles of water a day but 4 was tough having my tummy so small.

BTW a clear liquid diet is as follows:
  • Diet Coffee/Diet Tea
  • Low Sodium Broth (realized i hated the beef and chicken version buying vegetable tonight)
  • Water
  • 5 calorie crystal light packs
  • Isopure - get zero carb
  • Medical Grade Protein Powders (100 calories / 20 grams of protein)
Today, it has been a lot easier to drink down the liquids and my tummy does not feel super full.  That was probably from the gas more than anything.  As instructed I walked 5 times outside and have been drinking liquids all day.  Nothing interesting to report though I am currently at zero pain still.  I took a shower and had to make sure the bandages and stitches were not wet too much.
