I use powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder and Celebrate powder. You can buy both online.

~In the morning I feel my 24 oz Water bottle up.

~Make an 8 oz Protein Drink add in Calcium citrate crystals. It's hard for me to chew the Calcium pills as they are huge and chalky.

~I then Lay out multi Vitamin, thyroid medicine, birth control, B1, Biotin, Prilosec, and each time I take a sip of Water I take a pill that is a capsule. The multi Vitamin is chewable and I have a lot easier time eating once I split it in 4ths.

It takes me 4 hours to get 8 oz down of Protein. Once that is down I focus on just getting in water and other clear fluids.

~Once 1 or 2 o'clock hits I make my second protein and add in the calcium crystals. I also mix my protein with lactaid milk as I have become lactose intolerant after surgery!

~Around 5 pm I take my other multi vitamin and chew up a calcium. ~Around 8 pm I take an Iron as you have to wait 2 hours after taking calcium as it interacts with eachother.

It's a busy day keeping up with protein, water, and Vitamins but totally doable. :) My water goal is 64 oz and protein is 60 grams. I forgot the mention I am 5 days post op RNY.

I am a month out and things have pretty much been like this: I wake up and drink Water, I am constantly thirsty. Some days I get in my Multivitamin but others not. I find it unbearable to eat. I take my other Vitamins throughout the day. I am looking forward to being able to swallow my Vitamins soooo much.

I will usually eat about 4 oz Protein shake in the am, a 1/4 cup Soup in the afternoon, and two bites of egg in the pm.

I try and drink Water and other Fluid all day long, it's very hard.

I have no physical desire for food but mentally I want it just the same. I miss it and feel sad my stomach is so different now.

At the same time I like the weight loss and look forward to progressing my diet which still seems impossible.

It feels like I have a stomach bug for life. Be ready to give up eating it is so hard some days.

I just wanted to add this as I am an example of someone who is having a harder time.

I have lost 30 pounds in 4 weeks.

      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.
