hi everyone!! new to this particular site, but have had lots of great tips from searching different subjects so decided to join. I had my surgery 3 weeks ago, I am now coming to the end of my liquid only diet. I have really struggled to get all my water and protein shakes in. I am probably averaging 50fl oz of H20 and maybe 50g protein through my shakes. I am suppossed to start pureed I tried last night (some chicken salad wizzed up) but managed 2 tiny mouthfuls and felt nauseous, did this happen to anyone else? I am thinking I carry on for one more week with the liquids? this week i have stalled (but I hear the three week mark is legendary!!) any advice would be really helpful in trying to acomplish the h20 and protein requirements. I am stopping at the point when i have the pressure feeling in between rib cage and the gurgly sounds in my throat/lower oesophagus.
OK so I knew it might happen, but hoped it wouldnt!! it has!! the dreaded 3 week stall, no weight loss for a week now so whats going on?!! I am consuming all my water, protein is up in the 70's i am exercising. Please someone give me some hope that this will end soon?? I have 5 weeks until I go on a cruise and really want to be 14lb down by then!! its very very frustrating (also not constipated!!)
so frustrating!!!!! arghh ok so I am bouncing between 1lb on then off, then on then off!!! this is now 2 weeks, im really trying but i think its protein where i am lacking, im still drinking a shake a day, egg for breakfast, shrimp, deli meats, string cheese, chicken (but I cant eat much of this) should i go back to minced chicken for a while? I am exercising but not as much as i should be (ive had a cold for 4 days ) water intake is hard as i hate water!! so im doing vitamin water.
anyone have any magical solutions id like to be 5lb down by the 30th (going on a cruise!)
