Are you exercising? Remember that stalls are inevitable. Just keep on the plan and you will start to lose again

Just had that 1 wk ago. I figured it was some ice tea I had just before bed. I now stop drinking tea about 3 hrs before bed. I also take 40 mg of protonix in the am and pm. You may need to increase the dose of your reflux meds. I feel your pain . I absolutely hate middle of the night reflux. Yuck.

When I went to my 1 wk post op my doc said I could have egg drop Soup. It was so good! Go for it!

I'm 6 weeks out and only get in about 400 cal per day. I have 2 Premier Protein shakes as well, but I can only eat 1 egg and maybe a baby bel mini cheese and 1/3 cup of Greek yogurt for the day. I just feel too full for anymore. I figure as time goes on, I'll be able to consume more. My doc is not really concerned about my calories at this point. He just wants to make sure I'm at 65g Protein and staying under 30g carbs.

Well lets just say the stool softeners worked!! Id say 90% pain free!!! I'm hopeful!

With all due respect, if one employs those balls, watch out when you sneeze! Bang - zoom!

I agree with Elode. I would gag and have to force down just about any type of powdered Protein. I started buying the premier ready made shakes and haven't had any problems. Each shake is 11oz and has 30g of Protein so I only have to drink 2 a day. They can be a little pricey though. I started buying the 12pks from Sam's Club and they're a little cheaper. I'm 14 days post-op and like you, struggled with wanting to eat something. My surgeon said I could eat the green heart label creamed Soups so I've been doing Tomato Soup and that seems to help my cravings some. I still have 1 more week before I can start pureed foods and have been counting down the days. You can do it!!!!!

Try the Premier Protein they are my favorite! Also Swanson makes some really good broths out side the normal beef and chicken.< /p>
