Ok I know it's TMI but I had to drink 10oz of magnesium citrate at noon today and I'm still in bathroom. How do you keep your poor too shoe from getting raw?!?!? I am hurting!

I loved my sample pack. Caribbean Cooker is my favorite so far.

I absolutely can't find a Protein I like or that doesn't make me yucky from the awful taste.... I've tried... Isopure-mango peach, alpine punch, grape frost by theirselves or mixed with Water Premier Protein Pure protein Ensure high protein Atkins whey protein from Walmart Body fortress Lean shakes Wheybolic60 Muscle milk Nitrotech A couple others from Walmart What am I going to do? I'm still on soft foods due to a complication so at this point I have to use supplements. I keep thinking what am I going to do? I'm so struggling. Oh and before surgery I was tolerating these fine. It's just been since surgery I'm so turned off.

Ok I finally received my sample packs in the mail. I had forgotten I ordered them. I've tried fuzzy navel and Caribbean cooler both are pretty good. Thanks everyone.

Correct. Just wait 30 minutes then drink it.

I need help with my fitness pal. How can I track my protein and carbs ect and not just my calories? How can I change my protein goals?

And my carb goal shows 82 definitely too much.

Yeah they are there but not the goals I want. My protein goal shows 22g.

Good luck!!!!

I feel ya Marla. I am almost 8 weeks and I've been at same weight for nearly a week. I am at 202. I just want to get under 200. Eventually I want to get to 150. I started at 244. I was 237 dos. I am glad for the loss but just want to see the scale move.

I am not exactly sure what are the signs of lactose intolerant. I have been having so much trouble with my Protein shakes. I posted this in another thread but thought I might get more answers if I posted it in a thread of its own. I am starting to think I have become lactose intolerant. Even before surgery I always got a tummy ache after I had milk or ice cream or something like that but I love milk and ice cream so I just dealt with it. I guess it wasn't that bad. However now it is much worse. For example yesterday I had one Protein shake and I had stomach cramps for about two hours and I just felt ill. It finally went away and I felt much better. When I think about it I get that way after I eat yogurt as well. It's just not nearly as bad. Anyone have a clue if that is lactose intolerant or if it's a different problem? Any thoughts?

I'm going to try the oh yeah shakes from gnc and see if that makes a difference. I'm so sick of the tummy cramps from trying so hard to reach my protein goal.

Definitely call your doctor. I had the same stricture problem and I feel so much better now.

My NUT said nothing with seeds for 6 weeks.

My nose runs.

Thanks.

Thant you.

Thanks everyone for your ideas. I am starting to think I have become lactose intolerant. Even before surgery I always got a tummy ache after I had milk or ice cream or something like that but I love milk and ice cream so I just dealt with it. I guess it wasn't that bad.

It's weird I can eat an egg fried but if it's scrambled or like an omelette it gets stuck.

I am so sick of making myself get in protein shakes cottage cheese yogurt mashed potatoes and beans. What are some soft food ideas?

Merderma is an ointment/lotion you put on any scar/stretch marks and it reduces their appearance or prevents them. I used it religiously while pregnant with my first son and had no stretch marks. I was too busy with my second son to do it everyday and now my tummy is a roadmap. It does help.

My nutritionist told me that liquids go basically straight through your pouch so I can drink up until the point I start to eat. After I eat I have to wait 30 minutes for a drink for the same reasons everyone listed here. One time I ate an egg that I had salted and peppered a little too much so I thought I'd just take a sip. It hurt so badly. I have learned I can't eat and drink at the same time or it's painful. I guess that's a good thing for me. It keeps me from cheating. Lol
