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'm loving the unflavored Unjury with icy cold Vitamin water....I mix and put in freezers until foam disappears then fill to the top with diet v8 splash!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
