Hmmmm.....conundrum.......

Mark!......do you know is there is any truth to soy Protein raising estrogen levels?

I don't know the answer to this, but if it were true, I would think the Far East population would be a little larger up there ... both women and men ... right?

Hate to generalize, but ...

I would like to add that there are alot of foods with extra additives of soy, especially in Protien shakes, tuna, coffee Creamers to add a few. Most people think soy is healthy so add more of it, not always true. A few years ago I felt like the walking dead, come to find out I was allergic to soy!! Then for the first time in my life put on Thryoid Rx, and bio-identicals to help balance the damage done by soy additives. * Check out Stop the Thyroid madness do some research for your self and have your hormone leves and thyroid rechecked. Most times a simple CBC blood test will not show how low you are on your thyroid. So an Endocrinologist can do more test and help you get your enegy levels back to normal.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      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.
