Did your doctor prescribe a PPI for you, like Pepcid? Sometimes the growly hungry feelings are actually too much acid in your tummy. My surgeon wanted me on them for at least 4 weeks post-op.

I was supposed to take protonix for 6 months! I couldn't handle it and had to switch to Zantac. PPIs give me a headache.

Ok.. well my morning didnt start off too good but as the day

progressed i begun to feel better. I got up walked around

Walmart and did a little shopping.. got a scale and some

different Protein Shakes and some more stuff.. are the Atkin

shakes good? I brought some of those..

The Atkins shakes made me sick after about a week. Had gas and diarrhea. Premier shakes are better to me and have more Protein. But I know some that love the Atkins so you will just have to try them to see what works for you.

I was on Proteins right away. My NUT said the Protein is essential to wound healing, which I knew from my parents' various joint replacement surgeries and my previous c-sections. My OB was insistent on a high Protein diet for healing my long c-section incision. I wonder how people on Clear Liquids for a few weeks fare in recovery compared to those who have to have Protein Shakes?

And BTW, I did Atkins for a few years and detest their shakes!! The Slim Fast high protein shakes are the same flavor as the Atkins. I'm just making carnation w/ skim milk and adding 1/2 scoop of unjury unflavored Protein Powder per shake.

I heard that there was a three week stall, does anyone know what's that about? When does it usually end? I got to my third week and I've only lost half a pound after four days. I hate to call it a stall because I can tell my stomach looks smaller and my clothes keep getting looser.... it's just frustrating that the scale numbers won't budge especially because I had a short term goal of 169 by the 7th and I'm still 5 pounds away.

You shouldn't focus on only number goals. Think of sone non-scale victories you would like to achieve. Like tour clothes getting looser! Yayayat!!!!!!

      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! 😞
