Hi, my name is Teresa Powell. I had bypass on the 20th of October. I have lost about 40 pounds. I have been over weight for so many years that I decided it was time to do something. I want to ride roller coasters again. I am having the hardest time right now with the liquid diet I am not getting enough protein in and I can not see to no matter what I do. The shakes are getting old and everything I put in my mouth makes me sick. The Doctor told me to drink vitamin water zero's or G2's well the G2's made me sick as a dog and there is only 2 flavor's I can handle of the zero's. I have 4 kids and I get something for me to eat (like soup) and I wake up and they have ate it all. I had such bad heart burn Everyone keeps telling me this will pass and things will be better I am just so ready to be able to eat and not get sick.

(1) How old are your kids? Are they old enough to know that mommy's food is "off limits"? If not, hide it in your room.

(2) I did Isopure rtd Protein clear liquid in a lot of flavors. Each 20 oz bottle had 40 ounces, I mixed it half with Water and sip the 20 oz over 3 hours. I also put a touch of stevia sweetening.

(3) Contact your doctor about the heartburn they can adjust your medicine or even change it. My doctor moved me from generic to Nexium and it seems to be working really well

Hope you feel better soon.
