Hello everyone, since gyms are closed I wanted to share I am using YouTube workout videos to keep working out. I am surprised how well they work. My gym routine was getting easier and after one 30 minute video I was sore the next day. It's a good way to stay on track especially since extra Snacks are difficult to avoid with so much time at home. Surgery 1/14 weight 257 current weight is 212.

What stage are you at now? I see you had surgery on 1.14.20? Can you give us a little more information?

There are lots of ways to "cut" Protein Drinks to adjust their sweetness. My favorites are:
Cut RTD Protein drinks with decaff coffee or decaff tea. (Great both hot and on ice and blended into frappaccinos!)
Cut RTD protein drinks with fat free milk or nut milks. I like high protein Fairlife or Mootopia fat free.
Cut RTD protein drinks with nonfat, plain kefir.
Cut RTD protein drinks with nonfat, plain Greek yogurt.
Cut RTD protein drinks with nonfat, plain Greek yogurt + 2% cottage cheese to make a "protein soup". Add sf Walden Farms Blueberry or strawberry pancake Syrup (it's even better if you add 6g vitacost Peanut Butter Slim Powdered Peanut Butter--tastes like PB&J without the bread).
Make custards with RTD +
Add a scoop of favorite flavored protein powder to Greek yogurt and stir well--tastes like pudding. Love Isopure Bananas & Cream this way!
Add a half scoop of unflavored protein to a bit of cold broth to make a paste. Slowly add more cold broth until it's the thickness you prefer. Slowly heat but know protein clumps at temps over 145º. You can do this same thing to cream Soups like strained cream of chicken.
Add a tablespoon of unflavored protein to anything like refried Beans, smashed roasted cauliflower, alfredo sauces for zoodles or over well-cooked green beans.
Add a tablespoon of unflavored protein to a quick "Thanksgiving Green Bean Casserole with Canned Chicken" for soft food stage. So dang good!

I make Protein muffins with Almond Flour I have a base mix i use, i also add protein powder... and then it depends on what type of muffin, sf choco chip, mixed berry are the two i made so far... i would like to try a banana nut or maybe carrot... i have 3 days to decide and i have to make the next batch lol

If you in genreal don't mind a sweet breakfast try mixing a Protein Powder with an unsweetened one. There are either unsweetened plain Proteins out there but there are also unsweetened vanilla or chocolate proteins out there, e. g. nutri+ or alphafoods.

I was just thinking of menudo, has anyone successfully had some? If so, how long did you wait and were you able to eat it normally with lime and all?

Awwww, I'm sorry for the heavy emotions and feelings you are experiencing. That was a real team player of you to join him for dinner, classy move. Hopefully you will get a good night's rest and some of the discomfort will start to subside. How long are you going to be at the hotel? Try to continue sipping and walking, passing the gas from your body and sipping and walking and repeat 😊. Thank you for checking in with us, post whenever you feel like it and share your journey with us. Congratulations graduate, you are doing well. The hard part is almost over, next week will be easier to all of you feeling pain. It may still be painful, but not day one pain.

Hello everyone, 2 days post op and finally feeling like posting. I woke up to pain in the recovery room which was quickly treated. The first day was a bit rough I felt uncomfortable and overwhelmed. Day 2 was much better the walking definitely helped with passing the gas and helped with the pressure in my abdomen area. Drinking from the medicine cups helps since they are 1 ounce I am sticking to tiny sips and ice chips. Tomorrow I will introduce the shakes into my diet, I have to admit I am nervous because so far I have only felt uncomfortable after drinking too much too fast (slow down) but hopefully I can keep down the Protein. I have had a headache all day, probably lack of sleep the hospital staff comes in every few hours to check on me. I had an out of the area surgery so I was discharged to my hotel today. I am looking forward to sleeping all night and hopefully feeling better tomorrow. Physically I am not hungry however looking at food makes me really sad, I didn't expect to feel this way. When we arrived to the hotel my husband went to have dinner and I went with him to walk a bit, I was surprised at the huge wave of emotion and tears that followed when smelling the food and watching other people eat. I stayed because I didn't want to ruin his dinner after all he stayed at the hospital with me since day 1 sleeping on a cot that looked rather uncomfortable. Looking forward to a better day tomorrow best piece of advice for everyone is slow sips of Water and walk, walk, walk. Thanks for being such a supportive group.
