5 weeks out..is this normal?



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm 5 weeks out and I feel like everything has been Smooth sailing.

I'm curious as to what is normal. I am usually around 500 cal, 45grams Protein in a day. I have been able to tolerate everything that I've tried.

One concern: today is the second time this his happened to me.......i eat solid protein (soft chicken breast and a small bite of soft broccoli) around 11:00am and then I'm literally full for hours. I eat slow and don't eat more than I should and even several hours later I can't tolerate Water because I now feel soooo full. I haven't been able to eat anything else today since then because everything still feels very heavy inside. Being thirsty...took a few sips of water and began having strong pain and cramping from the fullness.

It's only happened twice but just seams so strange that the heavy feeling and discomfort builds with time and prevents me from any further consumption. Thoughts?

      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.
