8oz of ff milk is 8g protein as well as 8 oz fluid
8oz of ff creamed soup is 8oz fluid and 6-9 oz of protein (broc/cheese is awesome)
Make High Protein Pudding!
- FF milk with 2 scoops of protein powder and your fav pudding mix. 4 servings is 13.5 g protein each (depending on how many grams are in your Protein Powder)
I sip on a 24 oz cup of Crystal Lite all day --- sometimes 2 cups. :-)
YOU CAN DO IT!!!! :-)

I had an OPEN RNY on the 25th and I am back to work on the 11th. Trust me, I would go today if I could! I feel GREAT! The only reason that I am sore is from sitting so much! :-)

I found a good product --- All Bran Sugarless Drink Mix. It's like Crystal Light but it has 10grams of fiber in it! Tastes good too!

Well the good news is I'm 4 weeks today and the pain is finally gone. Hopefully you only have a cpl more weeks left.

Oh my goodness you ladies are real champs for going back to work so soon! I think that your job sounds tiring even without recovering. I wish you luck and hopefully you don't have to do anything strenuous for a while.
Topic: RE: Exercising
I started the treadmil 4 days postop.....at 1 mile an hour :) After 15 minutes I'd be exhausted! I've still not worked up to past 2.5 miles an hour but my surgeon wanted me walking as much as possible, so that's helping do that.
My energy level is still so low, and that's frustrating! Walking that slow on a treadmil kicks my butt! I'm looking forward to getting over this tiredness hurdle.

Congratulations Angie!! It honestly took me till the start of week 3 to get better at both protein and water. It is still a stuggle everyday. I feel like I am working at one or the other all day long. If I don't stick to a strict schedule I am screwed for the whole day. The most difficult thing is that you can't drink with meals. That would make it so much easier to reach a fluid goal.

Check the scale---- ROFL! I did not realize that I was all stopped up until yesterday. I had been able to have some small success so felt like I was OK. Yesterday I got terrible gas but couldn't pass anything. Then finally realized i was terribly backed up. Anyone remember the first time after having a baby? It was that bad. I am going to start adding Benefiber to my protein drinks. I don't want to go thru that again.

Let me know how going back to work is for you. My lap RNY was on the 17th and I am going back to work on the 8th. I work in a surgical ICU so there is constant lifting and pulling. I don't feel like I can work 12 hrs yet without being exhausted but the doctor said this amount of time was all I would need. I see him tomorrow for my two week check up. We will see what he says.
