Move over...I'm a looser now!

I ended up getting my surgery, just a day later then I was supposed to. So I had my rebirth on 11 January. I feel alright after a rough start. Dealt with fevers, and nausea at the hospital. I had to stay an extra day. I feel pretty good. Just trying to learn to get all this water and protein in.

Welcome back!  I'm so glad that you are feeling well.  I hope that each day will be better than the last.  Just keep on sippin'! Big smile. Freddie

Welcome back, and I hope you are feeling better now!  Yes tha****er and protein is hard to get in...  if you need some ideas, just ask... surely there are enough of us around here that we can come up with a good idea or two! lol  Welcome to the loser's bench...  SCOOT OVER EVERYBODY!  Another one joining our team!

So glad you are doing well, let us know if you need anything!! Shelia

That 16.5 lbs lost has been since I had surgery. I can't believe that I have lost that much in just a few days. I need some ideas on how to get more protein in? Is it possible to mix unflavored whey with the liquids I am taking in?

Yes, I found that AnyWhey worked better than any of the others.  I have added it to my Crystal Light and it just seems to make it creamy and does not really alter the taste.  Just do not add it until you are going to consume it, because protein does not stay active for more than 24 hours, in which it needs to be in a closed container.  You are doing great and Welcome to the Losers Bench!!

Congrats on your weight loss so far. You are doing great. I am glad to hear that you are at home and recouperating. Take it easy and sip, sip, sip - which is easier said than done. I know! Keep up the great work.

Wow, 16 pounds in one week! You rock!! Glad you are feeling better and you find it easier each day to get your water & protein. You do know that you can add the Any Whey to warm liquids too? Try adding it to broth and bouillion. Just make sure to use some cold liquid first to make a paste and that the warm liquid you add is no hotter than coffee from a drip coffeemaker. If protein gets too hot, it curdles and there is no way you will be able to choke it down then. BLECH!

Way to go, 16 pounds in one week is great!  May the Losers Benvh be a place of comfort, a place of rest , and be splinter free! Welcome to the Losers Bench!

sweetie, so glad to see ya.!!! Congrats on surgery, but so sorry you had such a rough start.  I don't know if this will hel*****t, from what they say. I don't know if this will hel*****t, but they say that it does get better. I got hopes, I've talked to so many, I just follow their leads.  Barb
