Recommended Posts

So any tips are welcome!!!

I'm having an issue getting Water and Protein in. I can manage one or the other but then one gets left out. I know both are crucial so any tips or advice would be greatly appreciated.

I'm having trouble with my Water also, what I have been doing is adding unjury unflavored Protein powder to a 20oz Powerade zero. Then I drink bottled water to get the rest of my fluids in for the day.

I didn't think about adding the unflavored to my propel that is a great idea! Do u like the Unjury unflavored? I got a sample of Matrix and Jay Robb to try.

I haven't tried any of the other's the unjury unflavored has 20 grams Protein per scoop & seems to be ok. If you can find something that gives you more like what Jenaenae84 suggested you might try it.

Do yall think only 2 weeks off for surgery is not enough for a person with a manual labor job? My surgeon thinks 2 weeks is plenty but I don't think he really understands when I say I have a physically demanding job. I work an hour from home

Thank you everyone for the tips. I have an unflavored Protein from trader joes. I'm going to have to start adding that to flavored waters or broths.

I agree I don't think 2 weeks is enough for a labor intense job. I am still pretty store and I had surgery Wednesday. I just went to Walmart and I am so tired.

I don't think I'd be ready in 2 weeks apparently your dr never worked hard

I couldn't do it! Not with a physically demanding job. I'm having trouble getting a walk in every day & I'm 17 days out. I think at least 3 weeks. Best of luck to you!

      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! 😞
