What does "normal" feel like after surgery??



Recommended Posts

mhm. That is a Broad Question but i try to Answer from my perspective.

my New Normal is.

I don't feel Hunger, at first, it feels odd that you can't eat or eat super less because i was used to eat Large portions, Then i notices a change in my Taste buds. I felt into an emotional and physical Turmoil, after that storm i slowly felt like getting more energy and my cravings stopped, i lost intrest in food outside of the nutritional value, You get your head over new things, Hobbies, etc.

So to wrap it up: I spend my time with more things than ever before, i am more active and productive as ever before, and if i don't use a Timer i forget to eat

Being mindful about drinking a lot of Water during the day, using a discreet timer to separate food and water intake, drinking proffees every morning (I LIVE FOR MY PROFFEES), reading nutrition labels on packaged foods & getting annoyed at how unhealthy most of them are. And of course, eating small portions and choosing foods that have high nutritional values.

I'm ~3 years in after revision to RNY, My normal is about 4 to 6 oz of food, depending on what it is. I have to eat slow, chew well, listen to my fullness signs, otherwise I'll get the foamies. I drink up to the point of eating, but don't drink anything at least an hour later. Most of the time much longer. I never had a formal exercise routine, but I live an active lifestyle.

That's what I've been calling my coffee mixed with Protein Powder. I'm 99.99% sure that I picked that word up from someone else here on the forum. I even go to bed every night thinking about that sweet sweet proffee tomorrow morning 😂 ...

      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.
