M going to start this everyone who is in November add your date and where your from . I'm crystal I'm nov 6 I'm in Toronto Canada

Spiking is an old diet trick. You add calories one day and go lighter the next. If you eat 600 calories a day, for example, your body gets used to it. Try 700 one day and 500 the next.

Hope everyone did well today

Our November members should all be on the losers bench! Great job everyone and thanks for the much needed support!!!

I'm so sorry you had such complications... get well soon.. looking forward to a good update

Ok so I'm post op 5 days and I'm on clear liquids for 2 weeks.

Im focusing on my Protein Shakes since I really dont want to get weak/lose my hair etc. Im trying to get as close to the 80-100g of protein a day but so far the most I can intake is two 8oz protein drinks which have 23g of protein each. Im taking Nectar. I rarely drink water by itself. I want to make a every sip count and since I can barely drink 16oz of liquids I'm not even adding broth, jellos or popsicles...

But Im afraid im gonna get dehydrated if I don't drink more... has anyone had this problem???

First week I wasn't really focused on protein mainly fluids. I'm almost two weeks out now and I'm up to about 60 grams a day but that's a struggle. The fluids have been ok since I am mainly on protein drinks. No other way to hit that number. Hang in there.
