Just emailed Shannon!

Thanks flogging! I won't delete it again! Lol

A while back I put together a list of high Protein foods. If you post or PM me your email address I'd be glad to send it to you. Forum rules don't allow me to post the Excel file. I've sent it to dozens of folks on the forum.

It's difficult to get all of your Protein without some kind of supplement but hopefully you'll find some things here that will help!

You also might try getting the unflavored Protein powder. First thing in the morning' date=' put a scoop of the powder in a small bowl. Depending on the powder, one scoop is 20g or more of protein. When you eat or drink something, put a pinch of the Protein Powder in. You can add it to almost anything and if it's just a pinch, you shouldn't notice the taste too much. By the end of the day you've eaten an additional 20g of protein, a pinch at a time.

Trying anything you can think of until you're getting all of your protein in every day is well worth the effort. Unlike fat or starches, your body cannot store protein and the nine "essential" amino acids must be obtained from food - the body cannot manufacture them. That means they need to be replenished every day. It's quite important for faster healing, increased energy, reducing hair loss, preserving lean muscle tissue and protection from bacterial and viral infections. You're gonna love the new you!!

Thanks Paul.

Does anyone know if i can eat oodles n noodles Soup? I thought about it but it has tons of sodium in it so im not sure. What about just the juice?

Thank you so much! I just feel like all i do is lay around. I guess thats about I'm expected to be able to do considering i just had major surgery. Thanks for your support! It really helps to talk to People who can actually relate to you because they have been through it.

hi I'm new here only 3 days po and i feel like crap!

any advise?

Hi springerboy. Welcome! I am pretty new on here as well. I am also 3 days post OP and i too feel like crap! When I'm awake and can walk around, it's for a short period of time and then I'm ready to take some vicodin and pass out again. Any suggestions would help me as well.

Just emailed!

Thanks!

Hi! I would love to have that list of high protein foods that you've come up with! i am 4 days into my pre-op 2 week liquid diet so I can use your list for after surgery! if you don't mind sending it to me, my email is shannonbearns@gmail.com. Thanks so much!

~Shannon ~

Yes, for the first couple days i was too. Im on my 4th day now and its getting easier. I hope its gets a little easier for you as well. From everything ive heard or read, people who do well on this diet, lose more weight after surgery. Just keep that in mind, thats what i keep telling myself! Good luck with it!

Thanks to everyone for the ideas! @ my3stars, thanks such, i didnt think about cream Soups and i def didnt think you could have the v8 splash! Ill have to see if i like it.

Thanks worm and mami! Glad to have joined. I love that everyone is support for each other here! It's awesome! We are all going through the same thing and it helps so much to have somewhere to go for support and guidance! I cant wait for my surgery but, i am also nervous!

Have a great one!

Yes, they did and it was pretty much the same things but, i was wondering if anyone had any other ideas. I guess it will get easier as time goes by. I hope I at least lose some weight before my surgery from all the "not eating"! Lol thanks for your feedback! Good Luck w/surgery! Let us know how it goes!
