Got my protein going on this morning!



Recommended Posts

I'm struggling to drink the last of my shake so I thought I'd boast a bit, lol, and see if that'll motivate me for the last of it.

I have 1/2 c left and I'll have 56 G Protein and 24 oz ff milk and Water down!!!!

I'm starting to hate these things!!!!!!

It kills me to this day to drink 8 oz of Protein. Lol

Who knew liquid could sit so heavy! I always try to trick my body into thinking its just Water or juice, but it knows!!!

I try to drink mine in the hour it takes me to get to work each morning. But it's like my mind knows and wont drink it.

I don't have problems with big gulps of liquid, but if I take big gulps of Protein, my stomach will be killing me by the time I get out of the car

Oh, I do not take joy in saying this but the body is only able to utilize about 30 grams of Protein at a time... So the rest is "wasted" sorry :(

Laura

So perhaps drinking it half for one meal and then go back to it later for another meal?

I can't gulp anything. I'm 11 days out and just sipping constantly. I put 40 g in one shake and that, along with 16 g of milk Protein is all I can manage. I'm struggling to get it all in this morning.

Actually, I'm not too distraught. I'm a bit amused by my antics. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

I know what you mean, I'm not crazy about Protein Drinks either. As soon as I was cleared for soft foods, I made it a point of eating my Protein instead of drinking it. I was low at first, but I was eventually able to meet my goals.

Protein Shakes feel like a rock in my stomach. I sometimes drink 1/2 a premier shake in the morning and the other 1/2 in the afternoon. But I prefer to eat my Protein instead of drinking it.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
