Found new protein.....



Recommended Posts

I have read all books, watched videos before i jumped into this. I woke up the night after surgery and this info commercial was on for this new Protein Powder. While i was on my fast, the broth i drunk was Bone Broth. It was so good, it tasted like i had made it from scratch and not high in sodium. Anyways, this brand was on, its new. 20g of Protein and it come in 4different flavors. Im trying the pure now. You canjust add it in whatever youre cooking, drinking, whatever. The pure is tasteless so i can just add it in my scrambled eggs. Hopefully tomorrow, he'll tell me i can eat something with some texture.....lol. ive never been so happy to get to eat some eggs. On Monday, i felt like i was at a stall because i hadnt lost anything. But yesterday, i passed by the mirror and omg,my stomach has just disappeared....lol. It was my own mirror and i was touching it like it was a trick mirror. Question???? Has anyone spouse left because they didnt want you to lose weight? I don't understand anyone that wouldnt want someone they love to be healthy. Anyways,I'm not sure how im feeling about my weight loss because im feeling very sluggish and tired. I cant get my protein in. Im not dyhrated, im sipping Water all day but its the Protein shakes i cant get down without them coming back up. And since im not at the stage where i can do scrambled eggs or nothing yet, what else can i do other than this bone broth? But i can only take like 4 sips before im cramping on the left side. Whats with the pain on the left side? It feels like my stomach is to tight..if that makes since. 2, 3 sips and im full. Will that change? Thanks so much......goodnight post-292858-14764108237068_thumb.jpg post-292858-14764108307447_thumb.jpg post-292858-14764108358511_thumb.jpg post-292858-14764108412858_thumb.jpg post-292858-14764108455531_thumb.jpg

I was at a store that sold that. I tried one it had tumeric in it. I didn't like it. I make my own beef bone broth.

I ordered the pure. It has no taste so i basically wanted it to add in other things to get the extra Protein. Now i was doing infusions for my chronic fatigue syndrome, ms, and my arthritis. But it didnt help but for a couple of days. I read where tumeric in the natural root or the Vitamin helps so i started with the Vitamin, and thats all ive had now in 6 months. Im only 1 week post op and i no longer need that total replacement that i was looking at in april.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.

      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
