Funny, before surgery I tolerated just about any protein drink...now 4 wks out, yeah NO is putting it politely!! Projectile vomiting...the only thing I can tolerate now is called roadside lemonade made by Nectar. They have alot of different kinds, I used to like the peach flavor with orange crystal light but I'm hesitant to try it now. Goin with what works at this point. Good luck!!

Wow you all are doing awesome!! I'm so inspired : ) I'm no where near any of you at almost 4 wks out & the scale seems to be at a stand still. I kinda figure it's my body trying to play catch up with all that has transpired since Jan 14.

Thank you!! And love always you not alone here...it's just the start of bathing suit season here & I'm not sure why mine still doesn't fit!! I wanna see a scale with me on it say 150!!

Not losin much last week in the last week, but I know I'm not getting my protein in either. I have tried & tried again with food & just end up with a huge stomach ache....Not worth the pain so I got some Nectar lemonade protein & trying that. So far so good, no chalk flavor yet! Wish me luck, I'm going for 60 Gms protein today!

15 days : / & only after mom & stool softness!

Anyone else having stomach aches almost constant without vomiting??

Way to go, congrats!!! How inspiring for us newbies, thank you for posting : )

Your not alone, but I'm only 2 wks post op

I went back Monday, I was 2 wks post op (my Sx was 1/14) & I can't do it, I'm sweaty & feel like I could pass out! I was drinking H2o okay, just not getting the protein in & still sore as all get out : / My scrubs were too new & rubbed on my incisions, etc, etc....It was perfectly wrong : ( Guess I will be riding the couch for a while longer. Glad your doing well...btw where do u get all that energy???

Lovealways how is being back at wk for you going?? I made it through 2 days & going back on FMLA, I hurt pretty bad & I was exhausted!

I live in South West Florida & I'm in long pj's, long sleeves & goin to bed with an electric blanket & a heavy comforter....what the heck?!? Lol

Take ur measurements, I'm certain ur losing inches. Good luck!

I also heard try the yogurt in tuna fish as a mayo replacement, I have not tried this cause I'm still straining everything I eat but I intend to : )

Add Greek yogurt as a sour cream sub & ups the protein : )

Any other 1/14 dates going back to work Monday?? I met up with the girls from work tonight & now I'm scared I'm not gonna last all day 9-10 shifts : /

When are y'all goin back to wk??

I'm sure it is common, espically if u had a catheter....Usually the pre op antibiotic will cover it though. I came home with a yeast infection : /
