I can't believe it's been a week already!!

Well it has been 8 days since I had my surgery!! It goes by soo fast, it's unreal!! I am feeling great and doing alot better. I'm getting in all my fluids, walking and resting when I need to. The only thing I am struggling with is my protein shakes. YUCK!! For some reason I cannot stomach them. I've tried 4 different ones, plus isopure so far and they all make me nausiated. But I'm working on it. I can't wait to go to the doc's on the 18 th and get these staples out, they are driving me crazy!! Well I hope the rest of you are doing well and I wish all of you luck with up comming surgeries.

Glad to hear you are hanging in there. The only protein I liked was unjury, and still to this day. Hope you find one you can tolerate.

Thanks for the info!!

Yay, glad you are doing so well.  We just bought some of the EAS whey from Sams and it's not bad, comes in a giant package though.  Good luck finding something you can tolerate.  You are doing great!

Thanks Tami!! How are you doing so far??

I am not very fond of the protein shakes, either. :)  Im currently using Jillian michaels whey protein from walmart, in chocolate. I miss it with a pkg of carnation, blend it up, and get r done. Blech.
Have you tried the protein shots? They come in little tubes at walmart. I may try those. Holy, stuff is expensive, though! I saw a book at borders the other day that showed hundreds of smoothies, many are high protein. I also bought a book called Before and after, it is full of recipes. They list a website called bariatriceating.com I poked around a bit, but people have told me the protein drinks there are truly delicious. Ide settle for palatable. :) 
Good luck.

I bought some samples from bariatriceating.com and got the book also.  I haven't dared try any of the samples yet though! LOL.  I heard that the protein shots are not the right kind of protein that we need and we don't absorb them right so I'd save your money.  Just what I've heard, there was a post on the main board about it a few days ago.

Thanks for the advice. I tried those protein shots and I think they are terrible. Thats my opinion though, you might like them. Im just going to keep trying!!!!

Thanks for the info. Im just going to keep choking it down to get it in!!

Just gotta remember that your protein is almost like a medicine...just gotta do it!  It can be awful, but it will help prevent complications and hair loss.  I liked the Unjury chicken soup and the EAS low carb ready to drink.  Although, you can get almost as much protein just by drinking Hood Calorie countdown fat free milk  45 cals 8g of protein in 8oz!!!   I drink 16oz every morning....still! 

Sounds like you are doing well!  Keep it up!!
