I'm on day 4 post-op I'm having problems with my Protein intake I drink the Isopure because it's 40 grams of protein in a bottle....try freezing it like a Popsicle.....Or after every sip of Isopure, sip on Water.

I walked for 5 mins today too. I'm feeling good....I shoved a box with my foot last night n that made my tummy hurt but I got some rest n I feel wayyyy better....just remember you're in a baby stage eat well in our case drink, sleep n sh*t(sorry for being crude). Stay hydrated....we got this!!

Wow, you're in a purée stage? I can only drink liquids. I have an appt on Wednesday and hopefully she will take the drain out and advances me to purée foods. I'm missing food. I'm waking all the way . Actually working from home, taking care of 2 kids.

I'll try too freeze those Isopure Proteins maybe it will work

Thanks and feel better

What an awesome idea. Freeze the stinkers

Isopure is definitely gross

No I'm not on puréed stage I'm on liquids still. My reference to babies is that WE are babies, we shouldn't be trying to do too much besides drink, sleep n poop...n take little walks.

Yes Isopure is gross....I also find if u shake it vigorously after every sip it makes it a but bit more palpable....not sure of it's all in my head but it works for me. So I drink one Isopure in the day n Premier Protein at night.

So has anyone with Cigna been approved with a BMI of 40 and no co-morbidity ?

[Ania40 7]

I had BMI 41 and no co-morbidity.

[Goddardgo 90]

^{Yes, I was just at the 40 and was approved. They require a 40 so as long as you are thier, you're good}

[friejenn 42]

Thanks! So do they go off your initial consult weigh in or your last weigh in with the nutritionist?

[Ania40 7]

They go off of your initial weight, so even if you loose some weight that's ok, they want to see that too.

I have a big problem. I can't tolerate Protein Shakes since surgery. They are so sweet for me that it makes me sick. I don't even have 10g daily . I know it's bad for me but I can't. I tried different ones and tried freezing it. Not working.

[friejenn 42]

Thanks:)

Ditto. Nasty stuff

[Ania40 7]

I have dr. Appt today, if she allows me to have some food, I will buy that Protein Powder unflavored and I will add that to the food to bust my intake because I will not go far on 10g a day. I'm so blah right now, have no energy.

[lucclu81 21]

I add Decaf coffee, cinnamon, nutmeg n almond essence to my Premier Protein vanilla shake....makes it much more palatable
