Have you had surgery yet?

Haven't had my surgery yet.... Hoping first or 2nd week of July...

Anyway I talked to the nutritionist today and asked her about the Protein.< /p>

She told me I had to get in 75g a day after surgery... She said the soy isolate protein ( has no taste) was great. She also told me I did not have to drink Protein Shakes forever... Only the weeks I'm on liquid, purée diet. She said they would much rather you get your protein from food. But some will not push themselves to eat so that's why they rather use the shakes. :)

Congrats on your upcoming surgery. I hear a lot of good things about injury chicken Soup. I'm 8months out n still have a hard time eating n still drink at least 2 shakes a day that's why I stay with Isopure vanilla. Zero carb in make sure I'm not over my carb or fat in take. My two shakes alone put me at 100 grams of protein.

Have any of you tried the Protein to go smoothies. They are like little shots. There is a really good groupon right now for them! I was hoping they would be a good option for us. They have 28g of sugar.

I use Body Fortress Super Advanced whey Protein from Walmart. I mix it with skim milk to get a total of 34 grams of protein per 8 oz. I tried the chocolate and burned out on it real quick. vanilla is the best. My nut said it was a good choice....so glad, cause it's cheap too :) I mix it up and just keep it in the fridge and just take sips of it through out the day.

Wondering...my Protein Shots are whey isolate..I'm going to check with my nut. Can't really stomach the powders and I'm so liquid loaded that when I do shakes I don't eat. Hoping they're a viable alternative.

I can't tolerate whey... Jus the smell makes me woosy. But the Soy Protein doesn't have a smell or a taste. It's awesome! :)

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
