20 grams of Protein



Recommended Posts

I love my Protein Shakes. I make "mocca frappes" :) coffee, chocolate Protein Powder and ice and blend. I've lost 68lbs in almost 3months, my hair is so very long and thick, unlike presurgery, and my skin is amazingly clear, again, unlike pre-surgery. There's no way I could get my Protein in without it. None. I can't eat more than a few tablespoons at a time or I'll puke. shakes are the only thing besides Soup that don't make me ill.

I was warned that blending things would put to much air in the drink and cause gas pain. Have you had any issues???

I have not had any issues with gas pain since week 2. I am three months out now. I told my doctor how I blended to make it palatable and he said it sounded delicious, lol :) I first had a Protein Shake (or whatever they call it) at Starbucks and it was weird but okay tasting and i, thought, I can improve on that! And I did...best thing I ever "figured out" because I can't stand that powder! Try it on a weekend! ;) That way, if you do get gas, shhh, no, one will know!!!????

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
