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!

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
