Topic: RE: How is everybody?
I totally cant do the protein thing right now. I know its important, but every time I try a protein shake or put it in pudding I gag gag gag UGH! Hopefully something will give soon... I know my body needs it.... I just cant bring myself to force it.
Topic: RE: How is everybody?
I am 9 days post op and every time I take a sip of water no matter how small I burp really big and my insides hurt. I can nibble on food without this problem. Bu****er or crystal light and my pouch goes crazy. Wonder what this is from?
Topic: Informed Decision
Hello,
I am a new member to your group. I have not had RNY but am now on a waiting list to be evaluated psychologically as well as medically before undergoing the procedure. I am trying to make an informed decision re this surgery and want as much information both good and bad from people . Anything you can tell me would be really helpful. Thanks, BOTB.

Yeah...well at least when I drink wine or champagne I get a decent buzz out of it 
Topic: RE: What are you eating now?
I know that is right! My doctors have me on a 3week liquid diet and I had to add a little variety to it. When you have been eating for so long I must admit it has been tough. I had to add the cream soups and some yoguart. I was starting to not eat (or shall I say drink) at all. That was not going to help me. Has anyone really started exercising yet. You all have lost so much weight and I have only lost 18lbs. My sugery was on the 14th of July. What am I doing differently?
Topic: RE: Protein
I must admit I have the liquid whey with 42grams of protein and mine taste like pure syrup too and extreme thick. I got a bit constipated and stop taking it for a bit. But, will start back my doctor's did not tell me in the hospital that I could have a stool softener to avoid such issues. A bit late, but I will make it work.

so far, the only time the liquid hurts is when I take too big of a sip...which I admit happens several times a day...good reminder to slow down for me.
Yeah, I think this drinking protein thing is going to be an acquired taste...maybe we need to start thinking of it like fine wine or champagne???
