Thank you so much, I've been going through this for a while now. I hurt so bad. The heating pad should help.

Now that summer is here, it’s time to sharpen our grilling skills. Are you thinking burgers, hot dogs or chicken breasts? Well, think again.


You can cook just about anything on the grill. Choose foods that are in your post-surgery diet phase. Find a recipe you like and then start grilling. Veggies can be grilled either on skewers or in a vegetable grill pan. Grill enough for leftovers during the week. Use a marinade for flavor and moisture. You can make your own marinade or use a low-fat dressing. A foil packet dinner is a great way to combine a Protein, veggies and seasoning all wrapped up in foil makes for a quick clean up. Each person can customize the seasonings for individual preferences. Foil packet dinners are quite a trend right now and you’ll find many recipes on the internet. These leftovers are great to have for another meal, or 2 or 3 . . . Making a kebob is another quick and easy way to grill small portions of protein and vegetables. Protein sources can be chicken, turkey, fish, shellfish, pork or beef. You may want to grill veggies on a separate skewer since these take longer to cook. What about fruit kebobs or grilling fruit right on the hot grill surface? A mango and shrimp kebob is a great combination. You can also pair grilled fruit with light yogurt or use in a fruit salsa to top grilled meat. The possibilities are endless.

I'm glad someone else feels the same way! I know I am not getting all my Proteins in, it's s huge struggle everyday. I try to get in as much as possible earlier in the day...try that if you're not already doing it...goodluck! Thanks for posting this....you're not alone, hang in there!
Also 3 weeks out as of Thurs, down 21lbs.

My surgery was three months ago, and I experienced extreme fatigue as well along with feeling very light headed when standing for more than a few minutes. I finally got my doctor to do blood work, and found out that my potassium was low. After about a week on a potassium supplement I felt dramatically better. It makes a lot of sense that with a high Protein diet with very little fruit or vegetables we are not taking in the required amounts of potassium our bodies need.
Might be worth getting a blood test just to see. Best wishes to you. Hope you start feeling better quickly.

Same here, full so quick. And the Protein Shake takes forever to finish. Good luck & congrats!! 😁
