Is it possible to get too much protein? I drink two premier protein drinks a day (each has 30g). Plus I usually get an additional 10-15g from my meals. I had surgery 12/19 and have only lost 10lbs. I get at least 40-60 oz of fluids a day. Any suggestions or comments? Thanks, E

It is so good to hear from you Simply Southern. Keep your chin up! By now it can only get better! Lisa, I'm so sorry that you are going through all of this! Hopefully your doctor can finally figure everything out for you soon! I too am now struggling with some weight gain. It helps to come on hear and read everyone elses issues, and they are not far from our own. We are all truly blessed to have a brand new lease on life! 2013 will rock for us all!

Thoughts and prayers are with you. I hope its nothing and your home soon!!

I can't remember the amount of carbs that we should limit to. I have some soy protein with 20 gr protein, but it has 19 carbs. Is that too much?

Does anyone work in a hospital or cath lab?

I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas! I am feeling soooo much better. I'm able you drink more, but still not getting everything in. I made stuffing today, which is my favorite! I tried a single bread cube and all went well. I even got on the scale today. 7lbs down since my surgery wednesday. I say that is, not a bad start. I hope everyone got through their family meals well. It definitely was different then years past.

That was suppose to attach to the list.

Does anyone get nauseous or gasey from sipping water or anything else?

I don't mean to whine, I normally handle pain well. But im not sure what to do or what is normal. I stopped my liquid pain med, because it prevents me from peeing. I have such discomfort in my lower stomach. I have been trying to focus on my protein drink because they have the most protein. I can only drink a little bit, and then I feel full and nausea. I have probably not had more then 4-6 oz per day since I have been home 12/21. Im not sure if the milk in my premade protein drink that makes me feel worse. Any suggestions or ideas would greatly be appreciated. Im afraid to start my vitamins or normal meds. Thanks, eaepc1012 surgery date 12/19

What is everyone using for their calcium? My pills are big and not chewable. Even cut in half they are the size of fat raisin. Im afraid to try them.

Our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Thanks! I just got home from a walk with my husband. I just gets these sharp pains, that pass, so im assuming gas.

I meant post op. Please assure me that it gets better everyday!

I am post open from 12/19. Got home last night. I have discomfort and pain. Im not sure ifor its pain or gas? Any ideas?

You are quite the trooper! I hope that everyday gets better. You are definitely inspiring. I go on the 19th. I hope no matter what I stay as positive as you!
