Ive read that your body needs about 0.36g of Protein for every lb you weigh.
Are you getting enough Protein in to cover your needs?x

Why wouldn't you be? Your body is starting to starve...and it's noticing.
You've been on a severely calorie restricted diet and are expending many more calories than usual trying to heal.
Some people are nauseated and don't have the sensation of hunger in the early days.
Many others could eat their own leg off they're so damned hungry.
I know I was.
When you start to include more foods and get better nutrition...you'll feel better and overall you will have less hunger.
But early days....hunger can be a bear.

4 days post op and im starving why?????

Here's another way to look at it:
* You've already had the flu so you won't have to worry about picking it up as much.
* Whatever weirdness is going on with your menstruation...endometrial and ovarian cancer risk increases with obesity...the bad period might be God or the universe or whatever telling you to DO the surgery because you carry additional risk by being heavy.
* Obese people are more at risk for illnesses of all kinds. If you have problems being sick all the time....staying heavy probably won't help you.

Whatever you decide, best wishes.

So since i started on this journey i have been getting sick constantly whether it be my diverticulitis, now i have the flu, last week my period was super heavy and wouldnt stop. Had to be put on a male hormone to stop it. Im super scared that god is warning me not to get the surgery. My family is telling me to cancel. My surgery date is jan 25th im cleared for everything. What should i do?

Can you use Purdue grilled shortcuts for your chicken serving?

Are you supposed to take Vitamins on the pre surgery diet?

You can ask for the radiologist's report and read for yourself what it says.
Might be something completely simple, might be something more serious. Best to get it checked out and be sure.
I know it's enough to ruin your day. Been there. I flunked my upper GI x-rays...they came back abnormal and I had to get an endoscopy where I had to be sedated. I learned I have chronic gastritis....which isn't any big deal, but they needed to take biopsies of my stomach to make sure I wasn't carrying the ulcer bacteria and start treating it before my surgery.
Your lung issue might be something as simple as a weird scar artifact from an old case of bronchitis, or something as complicated as a mass. Only way to know is to have it checked out. Either way....you know and can move forward to the next step in taking care of your health.
Sorry about the stress and frustration....I know it's hard.

Has anyone had a problem with chest x ray? My dr said i have to get a cat scan because the chest x ray was unclear and she saw something. Has this happened to anyone and did it delay your surgery?

What are some good Protein Shakes that taste great and are affordable?

My surgery date is 1/25 starting my pre op diet 1/1 so i can loose a lot before surgery.

My date is Jan 25th im sooooo excited. Nervous about pre op diet starting jan 1st
