The Good The Bad & The Nasty
KristyAB replied to KristyAB's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
Sickening sweet, totally artificial tasting, and way too much funky marshmallow filling. Yuck. -
The Good The Bad & The Nasty
KristyAB replied to KristyAB's topic in Protein, Vitamins, and Supplements
This product "Crisp" claims to be a salty and savory alternative to the typical sweet protein products. Imagine eating air puffed soy beans with a chalky powder like substance caking on them. It literally made me gag. Total -

This product is called "Nectar" and claims to have a completely smooth and Juice like viscosity. It's disgusting, it's cloudy, and the protein particles will settle in the bottom of your cup. Wasted $95 on this yucky crap. Definitely -
Hmm....only tip I have is make sure you have the foods you need for your diet afterwards. I actually found infant rice cereal to be the most soothing thing to eat for the first week. Mix it with milk and you get a little protien. I'll be honest though... The first two days after surgery it was absolutely excruciating just to swallow water. I actually thought something was wrong but my doctor assured me it was just from all the swelling. Make sure you have good post op pain drugs!

Where are you having it done? I went to Lone Peak Surgery Center and was in and out in the same day.

Yikes.... driving for an extended period of time after major surgery as a big risk for blood clots. I'd highly recommend waiting at least 6 weeks. I had an extended lower body tummy tuck in 2013 and there is no way I would have been able to drive that long.

Well I tried soft scrambled eggs... Those came right back up Then I tried some soft cooked peas and carrots and gave me heartburn from hell.... Soooo..... I bought a creamy peanut butter protein bar( the kind with no chunks of nuts or anything crunchy in it) and, as long as I chew it slowly, it has been the best way to get my protein in.

Woo hooo! I'm in East Millcreek....go to sugarhouse all the time! I'm 3 weeks out so still on "soft foods"....blah

I was on my period durring my surgery (so much fun) it lasted for way longer than usual and then when it was my next period time there was nothing...... I think surgery in general just freaks the body out and things go wacky.....

Hmmmm....????....I have no idea....I have the opposite problem....maybe check and see if there is sucrose in any of the foods you're eating? It can cause serious gastrointestinal issues. Same thing for sucralose or aspartame.

I'm 3 weeks out and still pretty sore So, sex isn't even on my radar right now. My hubby is 16 years older than me so it hasn't been an issue yet. *sigh* (I didn't think about me being in my sexual prime(30's for women) and him almost being 50 when we said "I do"......)

Can some of you tell me how much the total bill was on your surgery. I want to hear feed back from you all not a doctors office.
