Looking for 7/22/14 surgery buddy



Recommended Posts

Thanks y'all! They are definitely the same ones! My grandma, I love her to death don't get me wrong, but she is the worst about this. She is the first to comment about me getting too big, or putting on "a little" weight. But after hearing that I was going to have surgery, she says "well then, I guess you don't want to eat what I cook anymore" like my decision had something to do with her. I can't just go over there to spend time with her or to take the kids to see their great granny. No, it has to be a big to do with a four course dinner and all the fixin's. She means well, I think, but doesn't see anything wrong with the way she eats.

Hey guys! You all who went to work. Omg Idk how you did it. I barely have enough energy to climb my stairs!

I am glad that everyone is doing so well and I'm proud of the hard work we are all putting in to make our tool effective!

I am in awe of all of you who are back to work today! I just ran to CVS and thought that I had made a big mistake! Took an hour and a half nap afterwards! My left incision site is still very painful. I guess it's because they removed my band from there, too. My dr. had me working on getting 60 grams and 60 oz. starting day two! I must admit it hasn't happened quite yet. Lots of gas, but not feeling nauseous. Anyway, that's what's going on with me now. I think of all of us, and know that we have made the right decision. Have a great day, everyone!

Honestly, the Fluid intake alone keeps me so full I don't want much else. I'm really worried about how I'm going to get in enough Protein.< /p>

Has anyone tried the 42g Protein Shots?

I'm in the same boat, and I'm still not getting enough of either thing. I drank a 42g shot today. Slowly obviously! It was nasty, but I got at least 42g drank today!

Lol I can deal with nasty if it knocks out half my Protein requirements. They sell them at Walmart. I'll be going there tomorrow.

You guys are stronger than I am! I can't do nasty. I tried (and tried again) the Isopure drinks, and I just can't do them. Are the shots just that--shots? If it's a lot of Protein in a small amount, then maybe. I did the Unjury chicken Soup a couple of times yesterday, and that seemed to work well as along as I drank very, very slowly. I get some gas from it, but I can manage that as long as the protein is going down.

Day 2 at work. Not as excited as I was yesterday. I miss my bed.

its 3.8 ounces, so four medicine cups. I am going to Walmart at lunch. This will save me while I am traveling. Nasty or not I like my hair, and I am afraid of Hair loss if I dont get in enough Protein.

I was told that those shots are the wrong type of Protein. They are the collagen protein and I think we are supposed to be getting isolate. I would ask the nutritionist. Also, I was told that you can only really use about 20-30g of protein in one hour, so if you drink the whole shot your body would just waste the other 10-20g of protein. If you do the shot, do half one hour and wait for the other half until a couple hours later.

Crap. I suppose I will research the shots a bit more before I decide to use those. Thanks for the information!

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
