Total meltdown yesterday - just venting



Recommended Posts

Don;t be too hard on yourself, this is a very tough road we are embarking on...it takes willpower and mental strength...once you have had your surgery, your body will help you make the right choices. Do the best you can and talk to your husband about how this lifestyle change for you, will affect him and how you eat in the future. Best of luck, you will do great...Cathy

Marisa - I wish it was Cracker Barrel I was talking about. Unfortunately we don't have them in CA. The restaurant is a local steak house that opened up within the past year called Cool Hand Luke's.

Never even heard of the place. Gotta say that the menu looks like something I would've probably loved, uh, once upon a time :smile2:.

I can see how you would've had a difficult time. I bet they would've done some of the seafood without the sauces, or maybe just one of the steaks plain with one of the salads.

I'm kind of afraid to ask what your DH ordered!

I just wanted to add that 5 shakes a day seems like alot (depending on how much Protein is in them). Be careful of taking in more than 100 grams of protein a day because it can affect your kidneys.Other than that, you are doing great. The fact that you made it work even when the choices were limited says alot about you. You could have gone for the "last supper syndrome" and eaten that fried fatty foods, but you went with the best choice possible in a difficult situation. Stay positive & you will get there!

      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.
