Girl, exactly!!!!!!! It tasted soooo good but it messes me up ?

My doctor said I was ok to try new and more things so I tried that ricotta bake that I hear so much about. It’s soooo tasty but the heart burn is intense. However, if you don’t get the heartburn from it, it may help with the pasta cravings.

I’m in the same boat! 7 days post op and getting hungry ? Fairlife chocolate milk with another scoop of unflavored protein powder has been a life savor for me. side note- today was the first time the incisions started to itch. Normal? Anything to help?

For those who have had their surgery already, how are you feeling? im completely unable to get my premiere protein down which is very upsetting. I did also buy the non flavored protein powder that I can start adding to my liquid. any other tils?

Im very confused why the let me go home. However I’m slowly drinking my beef broth (8 oz) but at the hospital I was getting sick from 2 oz protein shakes

Hey Confidently, I just got home about 2 hours ago from the hospital. This pain is sooo bad, they I have thrown up- just took my very limited supply of OXy and it came up with the throw up. cried a little Over that.

I’m sleeved S well and in my own private room. I feel absolutely great, except I keep dozing off every 20 minutes or so. I have slight irratation at the top of my rib cage which I’m guessing is the gas. Haven’t been cleared to walk yet but I believe we will be soon.

This is my go to brand. It is sooo yummy!

Iv is in

Thank you! Will keep posting updates as often as I can

You got this girl!!! Speedy recovery

1 hour until I leave for the hospital ? I slept so well last night, that has to be a good sign, right ?!?!?

Good luck!

Yeah super nervous. More so about having regrets after than any complications. I lost 10 lbs this month by following the diet. So it gets on my head that I could do this without surgery if I keep doing what I’m doing now. But I also know I’ve told myself this before and it didn’t work.

So ready and so scared at the same time. Wishing us all luck on our dates, a speedy recovery, and lots of success!

It’s just makes me super tired. I’m hitting my protein and water so I just try to keep that in the back of my mind. I try to walk out of the room anytime my husband and or daughter are eating something that I can’t.

Are any of using myfitnesspal to log your calories. Today was my 22nd day of logging but it’s the first day on the liquid diet so I’m wayyyy under their calories recommendation. So it will not allow me to complete my days into. Anyone know how to “fix” this?

Wow, you look wonderful! Love the last photo especially. You are an inspiration!

Man, you are a trooper!

Damn, that’s rough! How long do you have to do that for. One or two weeks?

How bad is yours!?! I start mine tomorrow ?

I have been trying out different brands to see which are palatable. So far I’m digging the protein20 drinks and premiere protein chocolate the best. I’ve also got three different types of protein soups that in anxiously awaiting to try ?

Thank you all for the clarification

Hi everyone! I apologize in advance if this has been discussed before. does protein water count towards your fluid intake, protein or both?
