Ok everyone since we are getting close to December I figured I would go ahead and start us up a post op thread

Quick!! I see the dr and the nut at 10a, any questions you guys want me to ask? Lol. I'll just add them to my list.

Yeah ask em why hot dogs come in packs of 10 but the buns come in packs of 8

Ahaha!! Maybe I will. Then he'll think I've definitely lost it. Lol.

Has everyone been keeping a food journal? I ha ve been calculating my protein but not writing it down. I see the nutritionist/ dietician tomorrow and I'm afraid I will be hearing about it.i know a lot of people use my fitness pal but I am technically challenged. I did try it for a few days though: ). Anyone use a system that works?

I use a Lose it app and it is also available online.

I loved the lose it app. But no one else was using it asked about it before changing

Is it possible to get too much protein? I drink two premier protein drinks a day (each has 30g). Plus I usually get an additional 10-15g from my meals. I had surgery 12/19 and have only lost 10lbs. I get at least 40-60 oz of fluids a day. Any suggestions or comments?

Thanks,

E

I use fitness pal. Nutritionist was happy when I gave average protein intake per day and liquids. Need to increase both by next Friday.

Proteins save your muscle. I've been getting at least 70-80. Plus I'm working out now so I should have more.

Good question posed by someone else: can we get too much protein.

Oops just noticed time, probably too late :-( I'll also see a nutritionist today so I'll ask.

Hey I had a pretty good question too that's always bothered me haha

Right?!? That's one if those things that make absolutely NO sense. Even if they figure 2 people don't use buns with their dogs, you can still make a sandwich with them! Geez!! Lol.

I did get the blood thinner shot on my stomach. But I didn't start brusing till 2 days after surgery. It is turning green now in areas just wonder why it's on the part of my stomach that didn't get touched. My insicions are barely bruised

I didn't bruise until afterwards either. Mine turned green then yellowish and now is mostly faded. It's been four weeks since yesterday.

Is soy protein good?

For anyone who has the New Whey Liquid Protein Shots, I think they are kinda gross and hard to drink because they are thick... however, I used one to make jello and can't taste it! I used blue raspberry in a sugar free raspberry jello... 46 grams of protein to snack on! Just an idea so you dont have to gag them down or throw them out...

That is an excellent idea cause those protein shots are nasty and make me gag! Lol. Thanks for the tip!
