I've been drinking the premier protein drinks but would like a powdered protein I could make fruit smoothies with. What do you guys like to use?
-
I want to try the isopure drinks. I'm still only 2 weeks post op and my shakes are very blah. Think it's because I haven't eaten "real food" for so long it feels like. But if I don't do shakes I don't get all my protein in ....maybe the isopure drinks are a good compromise.

3 days post op and discouraged
ShannonbKSU replied to dawnlatonya's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I finally felt human again about 6 days out. Slept in my lounge chair until 8 days out. It does get better....doesn't feel like it will but it does hang in there. -
Merry merry Christmas everyone! I hope you all had a great day. I've been reading about stalls and I think I'm having my wonderful 3 week one during week 2. No panic here but curious if anyone can tell me the reason behind the stalls? Thoughts?

Maybe buyers remorse is a bit strong but I'm laying here and I'm head hungry. For Mexican in fact. I'm thinking I want chips and salsa and guacamole dip. Then my emotions are sad bc I can't have those things. Will I ever have them again? Just struggling right now with the huge change and "there's no going back now" thoughts.

"Change Your Relationship With Food" ..but how!?!
ShannonbKSU replied to MrsMurky721's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am struggling here as well. And the funny part is I AM a therapist! We don't always have magic answers and it's something that I've tried to overcome many times and failed. I think what's scary for me now is food isn't an option anymore. It was always there if I needed it... But now it's not! Eek!! And Congrats on controlling your alcohol and other dependencies... That means you are strong enough to do this too -
Post pic of your scars?
ShannonbKSU replied to altraoiche's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Has anyone tried bio oil on their scars? -
Oh Amy I'm so sorry. That is devastating. Will be keeping you close in my prayers... And yes please join our group if you would like.

I think that's amazing! I'm just not anywhere near that.

Is anybody just exhausted? I saw someone say they walked the mall already??? Holy cow the bathroom and back makes me tired! My Dr requires a full week of clear liquids only so I think that's part of the problem... Just not taking any calories or nutrition in..

I need a whining moment here. I'm hungry. I want to chew food. And, I work in a school and our home ec teacher has made caramel brownies, oatmeal and Peanut Butter Cookies for everyone already today because she "loves the smell of baking" around Christmas. UGHHHHHHH! I ate a sugar free popsicle....wasn't really the same lol Ok rant over

PRE OP DIET SUCKS!
ShannonbKSU replied to ShannonbKSU's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
hey - I think it does get easier. I'm on day 6 (of 10) and it's WAY better than day 2 or 3. I'm still hungry but I'm getting used to the fact that I won't be getting as much to eat and there's not the huge need to find something to eat. -

Worried about prescriptions - antidepressants
ShannonbKSU replied to DarleneCh's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I also take 2 antidepressants (Wellbrutrin, Celexa) and my dr wanted me to switch my wellbrutin to 1 24 hour release form instead of 2X per day because the pill as smaller but she said the other one was ok...she indicated that if the pill was m&m size or smaller (or you can cut it in half so it is) you should be fine.... -
Caffeine withdrawal!
ShannonbKSU replied to lilypat407's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had about 4 days of nasty withdraw from caffeine...luckily I decided to give caffeine up about a week before my pre op diet started in case I had withdraw. But it was nasty....I was given permission to take excedrin migraine up to 2 days before surgery...it has a big of caffeine in it (and I get migraines) so you might look into that as well! It DOES get better, promise! -
