mrstkgreene 48 Posted September 23, 2016 Congrats how are you feeling ? Way to start ur new life! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Thank you! I am okay. Haven't sleep well due to the steroid shot they gave me... And I'm sore this morning.... but I've been up walking around and pottying every 5 minutes. I have to take the GI test in a few. I hope it's not too bad. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App In 2008 I had my gallbladder removed, I learned the hard way by not moving and not getting up and walking.... The best thing you can do. AS soon as you can get out of bed is walk around. Literally I was still half asleep from the anesthesia and made my husband pretty much hold me up so I could walk.

bitingcat 87 Posted September 24, 2016 If you only have to be low carb (and don't have a fat restriction) look at some of the Keto blogs. I started a week early and was practically mainlining fat to get me off the carbs. I was right on the carb border most of the first week. But I discovered a Keto faux pancake recipe using eggs + reduced fat cream cheese and that a little melted coconut oil really helps that Protein Shake stick. And by week two I'd flipped into ketosis and found it to be easier. Also discovered that the nectar Protein packets are zero carb and awesome to keep in your purse.
