Struggling a bit

Nice job! My year is today. Down 110. The pics are from a couple mos ago but I haven’t lost much more since then. Congrats to all you April LOSERS 💕

Lol! It was 8 days for me! I didn’t have to tell anyone, they could all tell! 😂

I was reading this and it sounds exactly like what I have been saying. I thought at first I wrote it until it said 2.5 months out lol. I drank a Premiere last night because I really needed the protein and had been unable to drink them since before my surgery a month ago. I had to choke it down and then I felt sick after. I’m doing the fairlife also and love them. I’m experimenting with different ones. But that is a really good idea for the ones with 42 protein. It’s so full of calories. I had ordered some and then cancelled the order and ordered the 26g ones instead cuz there’s 90 less calories. I also ordered the 30g nutrition plan ones that have a little less calories and I found some in Walmart that are only 8 Oz bottles with 24g and only 130 calories so I bought a 4 ok of those to try. But fairlife is definitely the best tasting, hands down.

Wow...I am super sore today. My surgeon had to fix a huge hiatal hernia. So I’m super sore. Hard to get a deep breath. Walking sipping. I’m so glad it’s over though!

Oh, so sorry to hear that you're having such a hard time. Did your program give you a prescription for something for the acid reflux? I was sent home with a prescription..well, I picked up a med the week before surgery.
Does walking help anyone? Heating pad? Standing in warm shower with your back to the water to at least help you relax some. I love the feeling of warm water running on me. Helps me relax and feel rejuvenated.
I dont use broth straight from the cartons in the store. I like the broth from Campbell's Chunky chicken Noodle Soup. Not the regular chicken noodle that seems to have a thicker, oily broth. I add a little Protein Powder to that broth. I just pour all the broth out the can of soup and put the noodle part in a bowl for whatever will be done with it, lol.
I ate sugar free kello for flavor in my mouth the first few days at home. Helped me.
I really like the two broths that I picked up from the Thai restaurant today. Strictly broth for their chicken and rice soup and their tum yum soup without any spice added and no Tomato. A lot of thai restaurants make tum yum with tomatoes, but I sought out one that does not use tomatoes due to trying to stay away from acid right now.
Some people say they add water to the Protein Shakes to thin them out some. Maybe that will help.
Hope you feel better soon. First week can be a challenge for sure. I had my share of unpleasant moments the first week also. I'm just one week ahead of you.

I had surgery same day as you on 4/15, one week yesterday. My Gerd has been so bad it scares me to drink to much of anything, been also having hard time getting all my fluids in daily , sucking on rolaids does help my acid and like the previous most said I strain lite Soups and use as broths. Popsicles have been good also, Are you still on pain meds?
