My Doctor said that I was not healing and I need to bump up my Protein. He said if I dont things could bad. I didnt want to know what that could be. But now I wish I would have asked him. However I will increase my protein. I really was not getting the mininium in.

What did he mean by "not healing?" Did he take an x-ray or a different test? Would like to know if you don't mind.

I know you need Protein for healing. I think if you do not get enough protein, you would be at increased risk of infection.

Keep an eye on it. If it gets ANY redder, give your doc a call. Better safe than sorry!

      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! 😞
