Misery Month!

Yes, I was really upset after surgery because I spent so much money on the isopure and couldn't stand it. So I decided to start trying new things to find something that worked, because I really needed the protein and hated to spend more money. I hope you like them. They are more liquidy and it appears to make 16 oz, but it creates a lot of foam, so it's really only about 8oz-10 oz, depending upon how many ice cubes used. I like it less thick because I can drink it faster and I don't get so full so quick and I get all my protein in. Let me know if you life them. Lindy

Hey!! I was wondering if I was doing something wrong with my protein shakes...they are really foamy and I was like dang..It is hard to drink with the foam and stuff and I hear we should not use straws..I can't remember why but sometimes I do..that is the only way I can get one down. Also, the last few days I have noticed that I am getting full really quick, after only a few bites of food. Weird, weird, weird.

Well I drink my with a straw. I thought the dr just didn't want you to drink with a straw in the first 3-4 weeks because it causes gas. But I use the straw to avoid the foam. By the time I get to the bottom it's not even much foam, so that makes it taste pretty good. Maybe you should try the straw see how you do. Lindy

I thought my misery was over because I could eat Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I wasn't feeling well yesterday, stayed home from work and didn't eat because my stomach was hurting. Today, I am having the miswer problems again with just one bite of turkey/cheese. I rushed to the bathroom and all was gone in a bit. I am back to protein shakes for now. I hope this ends soon. How are you doing? I hope better. Lindy

Well, I think my misery if finally over. I am starting to be able to eat again. Not much, but some is better than not at all. I am so happy again. I hope everyone else suffering this is doing well too. Lindy

I'm doing a lot better actually. But I think it comes and it goes. Today for lunch I had a salad at a steakhouse, and I ate a LOT of it, and never once felt too full or uncomfortable. But then this afternoon I was eating bites of chicken I'd taken back to work in a doggie-bag, and only about 3 bites made me miserable again! I feel so unpredictable sometimes.
