August 2013 surgeries



Recommended Posts

I did lift my daughter once. But it was after it opened. And I toss and turn all night.

Well be very careful.

2 1/2 weeks out and had to spend today in the hospital. Severe dehydration and heart palpitations. I'm having trouble getting my fluids and can't find anything I want to eat, or if there is something that sounds good I can't eat it. Down 25 pounds since surgery but I eat basically nothing and my body is weak. I am a nurse and I know better but I just can't make this eating and drinking thing work. I returned to work in only one week and I think it was to early but I really didn't have a choice. Something's gotta give soon......

I'm with you nursenicci...I am three weeks out and can't get my Protein in to save my life...I'm not getting all my fluids in either but I think I'm doing better on that than the protein...I can't stomach the shakes so I try to get it in with my food but that isn't possible right now...

I no the feeling, im also a nurse n no better :( I am barely eating n I might get down 20oz of Fluid on a good day, I'm 3wks out today. I was a open cut from top to bottom plus the laprascopic cuts. I'm so sick n weak that something has got to give. I feel like the life has been sucked out of me. I walk across the house n I need air because I feel like i'm gonna pass out. So ur not alone. We will be better in time, i'm trying to think positive n pray :) u will feel better to. :)

I hear you! I had surgery the same day in boston. I just want something real. I'm living off cream Soups, barely getting 50 mg of Protein. I can't wait to see my nut on Thursday.

Becky u and I are both 3wks. I just cant get that Protein in, I want to puke wen I try n drink it. So Wat i'm trying now is a egg 6g n cheese stick 7g then later a Adkins bananna/strawberry shake 10g ( which I don't care for). Today in gonna try a piece of fish 14g. My dr. said I could do fish this week if I chew it well. So all this is better than nothing. Hope this helps.

Try Isopure unflavored Protein Powder. I'm getting over 90g of Protein a day. You can add it to Soups, or whatever really.

I know you can get it at gnc...I'm guessing it's fairly expensive as i tried the pre made fruity Protein Drinks and they are almost $6 a bottle...I think they tasted horrible...

I purchased mine from GNC. They didn't have it in the store so the guy shipped it to my house for free. It is pricy, about $50 per 3lbs but it lasts for forever and has saved my hide. Each scoop is 26g of Protein and 0g of sugar. The nonflavor has no taste at all. I was skeptical but its true.

I agree! Isopure drinks are nasty!!! Awful aftertaste and I couldn't stomach it! I think it's even worse than New Whey Protein Shots :)

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
