Thanks!! Any little bit helps' date=' I'm gonna be scared first time I eat lol[/quote']

I make a Protein Shake out of whey Protein and vanilla almond milk. The almond milk has only 30 calories for 8 ounces. I have also discovered DaVinci syrups. They are on the internet. They are sugar free, carb free and calorie free. This evening I had a chocolate protein shake with the almond milk and some banana Syrup. It was tasty and helps with a sweet tooth. The syrups can also be added to coffee. Good luck. That's my best tip today.

I have had a pretty bad morning too! I had my revision on 7/21/13. I must say today I have been so nauseous I cannot keep my fluids down. I haven't thrown up yet but the nausea feels as bad as the moment I woke up from surgery...any tips?????

Im sorry you're feeling bad, did your doc prescribe Zofran? It really helps with the nausea.

Yes I'm on Zofran and Phenergan. I talked to the office NP today and they are really concerned I'm not getting enough calories or liquids in... Now they are talking about a possible admission for IV fluids

I get most from food. I occasionally have a shake made with instant coffee or with frozen fruit/yogurt. My NUT said to not have more than 45g carbs a day.

I had to go to the hospital 4 days in a row for liquids, they didn't hospitalize me but they did send me home everyday with an iv though. I hope it works out, keep us posted, oh have u tried sugar free popsicles?

I am just past 7 weeks - will be 8 weeks on Tuesday. My clinic has a very limited eating plan - at least compared to what I read many are eating here. I am to get between 50 - 60 grams of Protein and at least 68 ounces of Water. I am told not to pay attention to calories, but I am usually just over 300 a day. I am only allowed 3, 1/4 cup meals a day with no Snacks. I split a 30 gram Protein Shake, half in the morning and half at night. I have found an easy lunch to be a low fat mozzarella string cheese stick. I would recommend contacting your NUT and finding out their recommendations.

Same here, my clinic in the beginning wants us to concentrate on protein and water, we not counting calories right now.

Thank you for the tips!!!

I looked at your diary and I would suggest increasing how many calories you take in each day. Each time I've had a stall I would increase by about 100 calories for a while and I would start losing again pretty quickly. If your body goes in to starvation mode it will start storing fat instead of losing it.

Hope this helps!!
