So, I had my sinus surgery Wednesday before last. All went well except I woke up to find out I had two splints in my nose. Boy, were those not very comfortable and they kept my nose stuffier than it would have been had they not been put in. However, the splints are out now as of three days ago. I am still dealing with stuffiness and drainage which my doctor said is normal. I go back next Friday for a recheck and another cleaning out. Gross! I don't even wanna think about what they suck out.
I'm back to my obsession with protein powders. I just cannot find anything yet that I can tolerate. Heck, maybe I don't know how to mix them in something to hide them. The nutritionist told me my preop diet needs to be low fat, below 1200 calories and less than 90 grams of carbs a day. I'm thinking about trying the Gladiator Smoothie from Calorie King. The powder itself only has one gram of carbs. The fruit they add to it however will have more. I'm just gonna have to see if I can do it and still stay below the 90 grams of carbs rule. If that works, it will only be good for the pre op diet. Post op has to be more in a liquid format. I sure need to learn to hide the powder in soup., But how the heck do you get a huge scoop of protein powder in about 3/4 cup of soup and it not taste disgusting? I haven't tried it, but I'm not sure it will work. UGH! UGH! UGH! Don't they have a pill to put me out two weeks prior to the surgery through several weeks after it?????
