Walking a lot....how much is a lot
I walked starting 4 hours after my surgery. I set a goal of 10 minutes at the top of every hour. When the TV shows changed. I would get up and walk walk walk. I would just keep doing it till my time was up. If I didn;t get in at least 7-10 laps I wo0ud not go back and watch tv. I did this every hour and I truly felt the best when walking. I hated sitting or laying. There was far too much pressure in my chest.

Truth!
I popped a low fat cheeze it in my soup 2-3 week in I had a small handful 5-7 chocolate chips when I was making cookies last week. I WILL NEVER AGAIN IN MY LIFE EAT CHOCOLATE. I had super bad heartburn that I aspirated and was up all night dying! Heavy breathing and vomiting and coughing up acid. Learned my stupid lesson.

Hungry
YOU'RE NOT HUNGRY. you should be eating every 3- hours small Protein rich meals. Drink Water, Go for a walk ( small or big) GO find something to do. Set a Timer for 30 min. Drink more water. If after 30 min if your still hungry have some protien. If your tummy "feels" hungry make sure you are are on a effective PPI.

Anybody use spanish translator APP while in Mexico?
you probably do not need one. I did not. There was always a floor doctor on the floor who spoke english pretty well. The nurses know the key words. And if I needed a towel or something I just showed them what I was needing. It was no big deal for me

Ugh i woke up sick!
It won;t stop them at all. Only thing that will stop surgery is a fever. Good luck, no excuses

4 day post op
I can guarantee you are not hungry! your probably dehydrated and not even know it, or it maybe all the extra acid, its a habitual eating pattern. When I feel "hungry" I drink a glass of Water and take a walk outside down the street and back and set a timer when I get back home for 20 min. Finish that glass of water. If IA m still hungry at that time then I will allow some eating. I am still on liquids so a snack of Jello or a 1/4 Soup. Generally the water and walk will make that "hunger" go away.

Wheybolic extreme 60 on sale - flavors?
I love this product, I have tried chocolate, vanilla, fruit punch and strawberry. All are good. Fruit punch is a little chemically
-
Protein powder brands?
I use amp amplified wheybolic 60 from GNC. It has 280 calories, 2 grams sugar and 60 grams protien for 12 oz. It says to mix with Water and the chocolate tastes like a yohoo drink. I tried mixing with milk today and it made it creamier. I love it. Try that. It comes in 5 flavors, Chocolate, vanilla, strawberry, fruit punch and Cookies and cream.
-
best protien powder ever
Sorry forgot to mention brand It's amp amplified wheybolic. It has 60 gram protein
-
best protien powder ever
I found this Protein powder at GNC it has 69 grams of protein, 2grams sugar and 280 calories. It tastes amazing. Not grainy and too sweet. I got a tub of each flavor. Fruit punch chocolate vanilla Cookies and cream and strawberry. The chocolate with Water tastes like yohoo and the fruit punch is so good. You mix with water instead of milk unless you just want the milk. It's rather inexpensive I was so excited with 1 shake I can hit my protein goal. What do you all think?
