50 Pounds lost!!!
Hey Liz, thanks for asking. I'm actually doing really well! "Food" tastes normal now - didn't for the first few days and the nausea is gone. I had bad nausea the first few days but chewable gravol helped. I'm on full fluids - strained cream soups, yogurt, SF pudding, cottage/ricotta cheese (LF), milk, etc. I can't stomach the protein drinks, they make me gag and I just can't get them down. I tried so many different options (adding flavour, ice, watered down. plugging my nose, etc) and nothing worked. It also made me feel super sick after each sip. I called the clinic and they suggested the protein powder which is perfect and I add it to everything I can. It's the whey protein isolate - flavourless - from bulk barn.
You're surgery is coming soon isn't it? You'll be on the losers bench before you know it - I can't believe I'm already a week post op!
Thanks again for asking! Keep us posted on how you do!
