Sometimes the growly hungry feelings are actually too much acid in your tummy. My surgeon wanted me on them for at least 4 weeks post-op.

nmck 68 Posted August 5, 2013 I was supposed to take protonix for 6 months! I couldn't handle it and had to switch to Zantac. PPIs give me a headache. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nicky VSG 34 Posted August 5, 2013 Ok.. well my morning didnt start off too good but as the day progressed i begun to feel better. I got up walked around Walmart and did a little shopping.. got a scale and some different Protein Shakes and some more stuff.. are the Atkin shakes good? I brought some of those.. The Atkins shakes made me sick after about a week. Had gas and diarrhea. Premier shakes are better to me and have more Protein. But I know some that love the Atkins so you will just have to try them to see what works for you. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

nmck 68 Posted August 5, 2013 I was on Proteins right away. My NUT said the Protein is essential to wound healing, which I knew from my parents' various joint replacement surgeries and my previous c-sections. My OB was insistent on a high Protein diet for healing my long c-section incision. I wonder how people on Clear Liquids for a few weeks fare in recovery compared to those who have to have Protein Shakes? And BTW, I did Atkins for a few years and detest their shakes!! The Slim Fast high protein shakes are the same flavor as the Atkins. I'm just making carnation w/ skim milk and adding 1/2 scoop of unjury unflavored Protein Powder per shake. 1 kw2walker reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaddieJ 82 Posted August 5, 2013 I heard that there was a three week stall, does anyone know what's that about? When does it usually end? I got to my third week and I've only lost half a pound after four days. I hate to call it a stall because I can tell my stomach looks smaller and my clothes keep getting looser.... it's just frustrating that the scale numbers won't budge especially because I had a short term goal of 169 by the 7th and I'm still 5 pounds away.

Think of sone non-scale victories you would like to achieve. Like tour clothes getting looser! Yayayat!!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
