See my doctor encourages us not to rely on protein drinks for our protein.  I wouldn't say he's ani-protein drink but he said no more than one a day...and that's only if you really have to.  He has said no liquid calories, so I am guessing that is why he wants us to not drink protein drinks.  This is for all of his patients RNY and Band. 

Do I always get all of my protein...no.  I come close enough.  Most days I do fine.

I agree....it IS funny the different surgeon's and their protocol.
I don't exactly agree with my nutritionist on many things.  I research and make decisions based on that.  Most long term post-ops have at least one per day from what I can tell.

 

Tell someone that you love them!

 Good Afternoon everyone!

Well today was back to thinking about reality for me.  I went to the neurosurgeon this morning and I got a return to work date of July 26th.  I will start out at 4 hours a day and work up to the 8 hour day.  Do I want to go back?  No.  But, the money would be missed.  I have enjoyed staying home and could easily retire but still need to work.  Sigh.  

Physical Therapy is going to get very interesting.  We are working on building up strength, so I will have my butt kicked at every session.  It will be good for me but it sure will be a challenge!  

Steven, sometimes people dont realize what someone weighs.  Looks can be deceiving.  Find a weight you are comfortable with.  One that looks good on you and that you can accept.  Crystal, hiring movers is a much nicer idea than doing it yourself.  It is well worth the money.  Ahmer, good luck in your new job training and interviews as well!  Also, have fun cleaning.  I know you are looking forward to your mama coming home!  Dawn, it has to be killing you to be separated from Liv.  You are so close to her.  She is probably having the time of her life!  You will talk soon.  Hang in there.  Georgie, I agree, the humidity is the killer.  I hate humidity.  

Everyone have a great evening!

Glad to hear Beemer's surgery went well.  And I'm sad you have to go back to work!  I know when I was off, I got a little spoiled!  Be careful though!  And I don't envy the PT you have coming up!
