    Girl, you are beautiful! Nothing to be ashamed of...look at our "fat" pictures as a stage... something we had to go through in order to get where we are going. You can add fruit to your smoothies.. there is a board called smoothies or something that I started for this liquid phase. Google Full liquid recipes and maybe you can come up with some more ideas. We got another week so we have to make it through this. I had a cut on my forehead and a big slash under my right breast, so I wondered if I was in a fight during surgery, lol. The rib pain is probably just muscle pain but it's enough to get itself noticed. I swear the Jay Robb whey doesn't leave an after taste... at least not the flavored. I'm kind of scared of the unflavored at this point.

    Well that egg drop soup was the bomb.... Soooo Good. I gave my dog the fried noodles but yes, I wanted them. I am doing better today but my ribs hurt. Like someone is trying to rip my organs away from them. I am not sure what's up with that. I wouldn't be in a hurry to try the stool softner... that was not fun!!! I couldn't find you either on Pinterest but I Will figure it out!!! Update: found you... send you a friend request on Facebook and am stalking you on Pintrest. :-)

    Sorry! I know that laughing hurts!! With my mom, being quiet encourages her so I have to resort to pausing the TV and kind of point out that she is drowning it out. :-) I started the stool softener today but it hasn't done anything but make me gassy. I didn't get the correlation to the bad taste in my mouth with this. I am doing OK on the diet green tea. They pharmacy didn't have my full amount of pain med so tomorrow I have to get the rest tomorrow. My Facebook email is jmb_1970@yahoo.com which is the same for Pintrest. I was a foodie before this surgery and I want to continue that just incorporate exercise and proper portion size. I can go to the group meetings with you if you want. I have seen so many people go back to their old ways, I sure don't want that to happen to me.

    Me too, cause those things were getting bad. I bought 2500 MCG B-12 at Walgreens a few weeks back when they had them on sale. They doctor said I could have them, and they are cherry flavored. I took my first one a few hours ago.

    My mom had said she was going to move in and stay with me for 2 weeks, but the thought of that made me ill. I love her, but she doesn't know when yo quit talking and I am a horrible patient. They went to PA to get her husband's mother out of a nursing home and luckily she is in worse shape than me. I have a lot of friends volunteering to come by and help out.

    I am doing better with the water. I added a packet of true lemon to mine and am using a straw (no issues with that so far) and am able to get down alot more. I keep having hiccups which is a little painful. I like the Evolve. I have to use protein powders/shakes that use natural sugar or Stevia and Evolve is made with Stevia. I drink the chocolate, it tastes like chocolate milk to me. $5.83 for a 4-pack at Wal-mart so cheap enough.

    The bed still hurts, but it's worth it. I have a bad back and sleeping sitting up or in a recliner was making that worse. I made me an essential oil blend with lavender, peppermint and eucalyptus oils and put them in a humidifier beside me. I haven't had any more gas pains but my incisions burn a little.
    Girl, I am a big pintrest user and I have been drooling over recipes for the last two days.

    I figured out my kick ass headaches were because I hadn't taken my Zoloft. As soon as I took that I felt 100 times better. Today things aren't so sore. Drinking diet Green tea, Drinking my evolve protein shake (amazed it has taken me 4 days to get half down). I did finish and unsweetened applesauce, very grateful for that. I still haven't been able to do the broth, as soon as I smell it I get nauseated. I'm very glad we have gotten each other to vent and go through this with. Definitely has not been easy. I am single and live alone so I have been doing it alone at home since I came home. My mom lives an hour away and though my Best Friend had the full bypass done about 2 years ago, she's busy but was a lifesaver through the hospital stay.

    This isn't the easiest thing to follow is it? I have kept these god awful headaches which has kept me sensitive to all kinds of noises. I was surprised this afternoon when I was actually able to get in my bed and sleep. It's about 6 ft off the ground so not the easiest thing to get on and off of. Do you know if we are supposed to go back taking our cholesterol and high blood pressure meds? He never told me. I haven't gotten sick yet but came close a few times. Hang in there buddy, we will get through this.

    Not nervous so to speak but not hungry either... struggling to eat/drink because nothing sounds good. Have you tried the soups with protein powder? They are OK but not my favorite so they next 2 weeks are going to be rough. What time is your surgery? Mine is at 11:15, I have to be there at 9am. I have had 2 close friends have the surgery so I kinda know what to expect but you never know right?

    Doing ok. I had to go to the emergency room on friday. I had a severe allergic reaction to aspirin, in which I wasn't surpose to take anyway but I didn't have anything at home for pain. When is your next appointment? Did you do ok with the holiday food being around and being on the diet?

Protein....fustrated

by UniqueAmbition on 07-18-2013 at 01:16 PM
I am sooo frustrated and just want to break down and cry at times. My nutritionist have not got back with me, so yes I have contacted them and I am starting to feel ignored. I have come to find out that my stomach is not tolerating the whey protein, after trying so freaking many thinking it was in my head. Well the after results are terrible nausea and stomach pain, lasting up to 1 or 2 hours. I am so sick of buying samples right now.

Its not a milk intolerance because I can handle

Nerves are kicking my ass!!! Idk about anyone else, but when I get nervous I tend to have a nervous bubbly stomach on top of it all!!! But I will stay positive I will make it through it all. Already had my doubts, but I refuse to come this far and not go through with it. I am doing this to better my health!!! Not sure of the time I will be going in, waiting on them to call me today to give me that info. But I'm ready to get the life changing on the road!!
