Dulce_jtrivera 31 Posted July 28, 2014 Thanks y'all! They are definitely the same ones! My grandma, I love her to death don't get me wrong, but she is the worst about this. She is the first to comment about me getting too big, or putting on "a little" weight. But after hearing that I was going to have surgery, she says "well then, I guess you don't want to eat what I cook anymore" like my decision had something to do with her. I can't just go over there to spend time with her or to take the kids to see their great granny. No, it has to be a big to do with a four course dinner and all the fixin's. She means well, I think, but doesn't see anything wrong with the way she eats. 1 tfowler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Boise 15 Posted July 28, 2014 Hey guys! You all who went to work. Omg Idk how you did it. I barely have enough energy to climb my stairs!

sandymom 16 Posted July 28, 2014 I am in awe of all of you who are back to work today! I just ran to CVS and thought that I had made a big mistake! Took an hour and a half nap afterwards! My left incision site is still very painful. I guess it's because they removed my band from there, too. My dr. had me working on getting 60 grams and 60 oz. starting day two! I must admit it hasn't happened quite yet. Lots of gas, but not feeling nauseous. Anyway, that's what's going on with me now. I think of all of us, and know that we have made the right decision. Have a great day, everyone! 1 tfowler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evanslaura79 45 Posted July 29, 2014 Honestly, the Fluid intake alone keeps me so full I don't want much else. I'm really worried about how I'm going to get in enough Protein.< /p> Has anyone tried the 42g Protein Shots? 1 sandymom reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sandymom 16 Posted July 29, 2014 I'm in the same boat, and I'm still not getting enough of either thing. I drank a 42g shot today. Slowly obviously! It was nasty, but I got at least 42g drank today! 1 tfowler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

evanslaura79 45 Posted July 29, 2014 Lol I can deal with nasty if it knocks out half my Protein requirements. They sell them at Walmart. I'll be going there tomorrow. 1 tfowler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sandymom 16 Posted July 29, 2014 That was exactly how I thought of it! 1 tfowler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tfowler 31 Posted July 29, 2014 You guys are stronger than I am! I can't do nasty. I tried (and tried again) the Isopure drinks, and I just can't do them. Are the shots just that--shots? If it's a lot of Protein in a small amount, then maybe. I did the Unjury chicken Soup a couple of times yesterday, and that seemed to work well as along as I drank very, very slowly. I get some gas from it, but I can manage that as long as the protein is going down. Day 2 at work. Not as excited as I was yesterday. I miss my bed. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
evanslaura79 45 Posted July 29, 2014 its 3.8 ounces, so four medicine cups. I am going to Walmart at lunch. This will save me while I am traveling. Nasty or not I like my hair, and I am afraid of Hair loss if I dont get in enough Protein. 1 tfowler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dulce_jtrivera 31 Posted July 29, 2014 (edited) I was told that those shots are the wrong type of Protein. They are the collagen protein and I think we are supposed to be getting isolate. I would ask the nutritionist. Also, I was told that you can only really use about 20-30g of protein in one hour, so if you drink the whole shot your body would just waste the other 10-20g of protein. If you do the shot, do half one hour and wait for the other half until a couple hours later.

evanslaura79 45 Posted July 29, 2014 Crap. I suppose I will research the shots a bit more before I decide to use those. Thanks for the information! 1 tfowler reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
