so sick of protein shakes!



Recommended Posts

Today starts post-op week 2 for me and i couldn't be more thrilled....that is thrilled to have something else beside a Protein Shake, which i am so SICK of now! I can now have dannon light and fit greek yogurt and Tomato Soup. This week is pretty much the same as last week of liquids with those two additions but my palet and stomach were both delighted to enjoy some much needed variety today! I would rather eat yogurt all day then have another Protein shake ...and i just might do that!

on a different note, i have zero energy. Anybody else experience this? I feel like someone has zapped the life out of me. I went to bed at 845pm last night and woke up at 630am and felt too lifeless to go to work today. Could it be the low calories that have me dragging like this?

Yes, let's face it, you're not sustaining on very much right now. I remember when I was on liquids post op and I had a lot of dizziness, headaches, crankiness, and fatigue.

I know you're sick of the Protein shakes but right now you really need them. They're your best source of Protein and protein really helps keep your strength up. One you're onto real foods again you never have to have another protein shake again, but right now, you do need them.

Hang in there, you're doing great and it'll get a lot easier.

Yep, same here. It was about 5 days post before i felt that way. Once I started the mushy foods it began to subside. Your doing great!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
