Hello Desmond. I had no hunger after surgery for longest time either. I don't really feel hunger at all anymore. ..it's a different feeling.

I do remember it seemed I was always sipping Water and drinking Protein in the first few weeks post op. It is like a full time job at first. It's not like that anymore.

Glad to hear from you!

Scream if you hate Protein shakes! On week 11 of the putrid illegitimate feckers now. I swear if I ever meet the CEO of solgar I'm going to tear him or her a fresh one!

Before surgery, I purchased 4 giant containers of powdered shake mix in different flavors. They went down ok prior to surgery and for the first couple weeks after. Now, they taste wayyyy too sweet and I just choke them down to get the protein in on the days I need it. I still have 2 containers left.... Cappuccino and orange cream....blehhh.

Lol! I bought lots of tubs of Protein powders too. I do love the pre made Premier Protein ones. But the powder ones have become very hard to get down!????

GENEPRO makes a crystallized Protein whey that is odorless and tasteless. Mixed with hot or cold. It was very sick of sweet too. Now I can add it to blended Soup I'm a happy girl. Btw. I had used progresso Soups for years and knew they were high in sodium. A whole can was about 1500g. I got some regular old Campbell's cream of chicken. Didn't thin it out just heated it up. The can had 4400g of sodium. I was flabbergasted.

Well all was going well until today. Developed a chest infection over the weekend (bronchitis if you are on the other side of the pond) and truly "ain't nobody got time for that". The annoying part is my clarithromyacin keeps getting returned to sender. Been given a different antibiotic now so hopefully all will be well.

Mucus-riddenly yours

Hope every body else is doing well.

Oh Dear, Des!

I'm so sorry to hear you got sick. Does your Dr think it's related to your surgery or just a arbitrary bout? Drink lots of fluids ( easier said than done, right?) and don't take your antibiotic on an empty stomach. Get Well Soon!

I have asthma so it's sort of par for the winter course. I was also santa clause at the weekend. The room was hot stuffy and infested with children. Might as well have been a petri dish.

Good that it's a normal consequence of life and not a complication. Bet you are one jolly Santa!! You are going to have to start padding up to keep up Santa's appearance in the future.

      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.
