    Post op diet... Low carb

    I started with as much protein as I could comfortably Handel and now 6 weeks later I'm still all protein rich foods. My carbs are extremely low maybe 15 a day. I don't eat anything that doesn't have protein in it ..at all.

    Eating vs. Nibbling

    I eat. I catch myself trying to nibble but my nutritionist said no (so bossy!) so I make myself eat at least twice a day and shakes between for my lack of food and protein. @@Essence46

    Good savory liquids

    Swanson makes that and Mexican tortilla, hot n sour, and jambalaya flavored broths!
  11. @@Shari71 Nope! I just did what I could. I wasn't about to push it. By week two/three I was getting in the protein, 6 weeks later it's still hard to get all that water in but I do my best. Between my decaf tea, protein shakes , and bottled water all combined I get it but not by just Plain water. Water takes me forever!
  12. I did with unflavored protein mixed in, but as always consult your DR and see if it's allowed.

    @@Babbs Is it decaf? I'm in love with stash decaf spicy chai tea right now!

    What do YOU order at Starbucks?

    Chai tea! Because I have become a tea fanatic since surgery! Decaf of course! I haven't ordered any yet from Starbucks I will have to ask if it's decaf?
  15. Only time will tell unfortunately. It's a small price to pay though and it will grow back! Hopefully your smaller waist line Will not! Don't stress!
  16. @@WL WARRIOR Yep I tried it again after all and it was good. You may need to drink it more often. 2.5 weeks is too long!
  17. @@bdcsail no clue but good luck!
  18. Yes! Congratulations to you!!!
  19. Good luck! Stay strong!
  20. That's a good tip! I make my egg whites with turkey sausage and cheese in muffin tins! It's much easier and already in appropriate servings! Plus convenient when on the go! @@OKCPirate

    Fatty Liver

    It just means you have more fat deposits in your liver ....that's the short of it. It's normal to have fat in your liver but to much of it prevents your liver from doing its job properly over time.

    Fatty Liver

    @RubygirlThe most common cause is alcoholism. Almost all heavy drinkers have fatty liver disease. Other causes are toxins, certain drugs, and inherited metabolic disorders. In many cases it has been associated with high blood cholesterol, obesity, and type 2 diabetes. : )
  23. Premier protein shakes 3 (90grams) a day after the first two weeks, now I'm 6 weeks out and I eat food plus two shakes a day so I always get 90+ grams a day. You may not get it all in in the beginning just keep working on it, it will get easier.
