Love this! Human leg here!

. Can you add me too?? Amva010@gmail.com. Thanks! Should be all set- let me know if it doesn't work!

Have faith everyone! I felt the same way- I'm just over 4weeks post-op now, but my first 2 weeks were HORRIBLE- I was even readmitted for dehydration! I have never felt as lousy in my life, and I considered regretting everything, but don't believe in regrets... Then suddenly, out of nowhere, I had a ton of energy! Not sure why or how, but turned the corner and have been doing great since (save for this terrible head cold I have going on... I could have lived without it!)! Just do your best on protein and fluids- I set timers to take sips every 5 minutes. Plan for little trips... My daily trip to walk around CVS to get a different med or to the grocery store to try a different mixer for my protein (I hated/hate them all too) was my daily exercise. Just keep going, don't give up. Every day that passes you are one step closer to feeling and being better (and I promise the days will go by!) take it one day at a time

I added you a few days ago--- did it not work?

. All set

should be all set!

I can add you- just need the email address you use for FB

Is it close to an incision? I had excruciating pain and it ended up just being a tight stitch (and me overdoing myself with walking too much)... It took a few days of rest then self resolved.

I'm having issues with the iphone app too... Each time I open a current thread, it says it's on the most recent page but it displays the threads first page...

Find a high protein drink that you can tolerate (isopure RTD arctic grape is my flavor (which says a lot because I hate most)- 40g in 20oz), set an alarm clock for every 5 minutes for an hour. Take a sip (as large as tolerated) each time alarm goes off... It will be done in 1-1.5hrs, guaranteed! Do that 2x a day and you are set- more than halfway to fluid goals and 100% at protein goals It helped me a lot when on liquid only diet and I had no interest in drinking/eating... Now that I'm on soft foods, I'm finding it a little more challenging to get it in with food... Will probably try to do 1 isopure a day and eat the rest in "real" food!

Basically DITTO. Same thing- all I eat is protein, but in doing so, I'm having a hell of a time getting in my fluids... I'm under goal every day, and while I know a protein shake will fix both problems, I don't want to live life only drinking my protein- 3 weeks was enough!

Water timer worked great for me- I set an alarm every 5 minutes to take a sip- helped get it down without issue!

Should be all set!

My doctor prescribed it to me too' date=' thinking it would be the best for me, but my insurance company wouldn't pay for it!!! It was going to cost me $350 for 1 month... That being said, I've been using Prilosec...
