Got my protein going on this morning!



Recommended Posts

I'm struggling to drink the last of my shake so I thought I'd boast a bit, lol, and see if that'll motivate me for the last of it.

I have 1/2 c left and I'll have 56 G Protein and 24 oz ff milk and Water down!!!!

I'm starting to hate these things!!!!!!

It kills me to this day to drink 8 oz of Protein. Lol

Who knew liquid could sit so heavy! I always try to trick my body into thinking its just Water or juice, but it knows!!!

I try to drink mine in the hour it takes me to get to work each morning. But it's like my mind knows and wont drink it.

I don't have problems with big gulps of liquid, but if I take big gulps of Protein, my stomach will be killing me by the time I get out of the car

Oh, I do not take joy in saying this but the body is only able to utilize about 30 grams of Protein at a time... So the rest is "wasted" sorry :(

Laura

So perhaps drinking it half for one meal and then go back to it later for another meal?

I can't gulp anything. I'm 11 days out and just sipping constantly. I put 40 g in one shake and that, along with 16 g of milk Protein is all I can manage. I'm struggling to get it all in this morning.

Actually, I'm not too distraught. I'm a bit amused by my antics. Oh well, tomorrow is a new day.

I know what you mean, I'm not crazy about Protein Drinks either. As soon as I was cleared for soft foods, I made it a point of eating my Protein instead of drinking it. I was low at first, but I was eventually able to meet my goals.

Protein Shakes feel like a rock in my stomach. I sometimes drink 1/2 a premier shake in the morning and the other 1/2 in the afternoon. But I prefer to eat my Protein instead of drinking it.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
