Day 9- things are looking up



Recommended Posts

Though still a little weak, my Tomato Soup last night , thinned with milk, made a detectable difference in my energy- at least as far as I can tell.

My doctor emailed to tell me to get a CBC drawn to make sure I am not anemic- though from everything I have read around here weakness is not that uncommon!

I got the CBC, came home and had some divine greek yogurt, thinned with milk. Yumm!!!

Then I got an email from my doctor saying my hematocrit went UP since surgery- it was 27 and is now 33 - 35 being normal.

And the kicker- "Great job on the Vitamins and iron!- keep it up!"

Uh- guess I had better start taking those... :P

He did say if the exhaustion persists see my GP before my 2 week followup, whichis on the 25th.

I had canned turkey chili liquified in the blender with Greek yogurt mixed in and it was HEAVEN! The Greek yogurt tastes just like cream cheese and chili and cream cheese is my favorite dip.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
