First day back to work today and it felt like I was playing the child's game, Red Light (wait 30 minutes,eat,wait 30 minutes); Green Light, (sip, sip, sip!) and trying to work! My head is swimming!

I am trying to find my routine: sip, sip, sip you need 64 oz, but stop 30 mins prior-eat slow-wait 30 mins after eating, drink your protein- need 80 grams, but don't take your Calcium within 30 mins of dairy, take your multi Vitamin twice a day but not close to your calcium, start introducing soft foods. I can't get it all in?

I was so out of sync, when I got home my husband had boiled some chicken for dinner. I felt bad because I drank a Protein Shake on the way home trying to catch up. I asked him to give me a few moments because of the Protein but mindlessly kept sipping realizing once I got my serving, oh wait, I have to wait 30 minutes before I can eat!

I know it's not that difficult, many of you are doing it but I was frustrated today just not finding the rhythm of it all today. Any suggestions on how to get it all in? Every time my boss came over I had a drink to my mouth. I feel like coming up with a gadget to come up with hands free sipping but o,yeah no straws. Welcome to my new life:-) and btw I am loving my sleeve!

Sorry but I must correct myself: it's the multi vit. That you keep away from dairy not the Calcium. I just rechecked my sheet from NUT.

      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...

        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.
