VerticalMorey 31 Posted August 20, 2012 Morning sleevers today is my first milestone I transition to Protein Shakes and puréed foods today! I feel a lot better today than I had been also considering yesterday was my first day I really got a lot of walking in I went to Sam's club and for those who've been in there know the walk I had. Still a little tightness, but Im ok. Glad I'll be able to try to get more Protein in today and move beyond Popsicles 1 Odee reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VerticalMorey 31 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm not responding to the shakes everyone I've had today has sent me running to the restroom... Ugh will this get better? Not the best first day on full liquids and puree 1 LorenaVaca reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LorenaVaca 29 Posted August 21, 2012 I'm not responding to the shakes everyone I've had today has sent me running to the restroom... Ugh will this get better? Not the best first day on full liquids and puree Im 13 days post op and they do it to me every time. You can look at it two ways 1. As a bad thing or 2. As a "cleansing" product lol i rather it come out i know TMI so that i lose weight rather then for it to stay in and build up and me gain or stall :-\ idk it doesnt bother me too much cause i look at it as number 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VerticalMorey 31 Posted August 21, 2012 Yea that's a good way to spin it and look at it: however I'm concerned that if it's going straight through my system am I absorbing all my Protein? I'm going to ask my surgeon on my post op apt Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

VerticalMorey 31 Posted August 21, 2012 I sure will we are all in this together Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
traceyinflorida 499 Posted August 21, 2012 Are you making it with milk? I have read that some people become lactose intolerant post surgery. You may want to try mixing your Protein with soy milk or a lactose free milk like lactaid just to see if it makes a difference. Glad your egg and cheese worked for you though!
