Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Hi , I had surgery on 12/16/02 and I was told by my Dr not to use a straw. Will this change the farther out that I get? I've lost 35 lbs but I've been on a plateau for more than 3 weeks and haven't lost a pound. Very depressing to say the least.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 I think I'll try it then! I don't know why he said No Straws. BUT if it will help me swallow the nasty protein drinks I'll try anything. I bought a box of Real Meals (not cheap) and I can barely stand to swallow it. Then I tried some from GNC that isn't any better. It's all I can do to keep it down. I placed an order at vitalady for a couple of samples and hopefully I'll get those soon!

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Dr in City, TN did my surger on 12/16/02. I have distal rny. I haven't found any problems with the burping either! I don't even remember what I ordered. I havent' received them yet. I'm thinking my plateau is caused from not enough water or protein. I'm not doing the greatest with either one.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 I think the reason some docs say no straws is because we can tend to get air sucked up with straws.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Beverly, If you are a distal RNY there is no way you can get enuogh protein from food without crashing. I'm 7 years out from a distal RNY and I thought I could, til I crashed... am still recovering after a year. Believe me, it's no fun. Enjoy the protein foods, but count on the SHAKES to give you the protein your body needs. This I speak from personal experience intended with love and to be helpful.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 I'm taking 3 flintstone complete's and 4 caltrate chewables (until I get my stuff from vitalady). I'm getting about 60 grams of protein a day. I've ordered some powdered soy to add to my juice plus complete so that I can drink that as my protein drink. Is this right? I'm eating 3 small meals a day and occassionally I'll have 1/2 of a protein bar as a snack. The dr has me still on the soft foods /soups /etc until after I see him on 2/4. Perhaps then I'll be able to get more protein into my diet via food instead of drinks. Please let me know if you folks think I need to change anything! I'm pretty new at this Bev Re: Question about protein drinks Bev with you being distal it is very very very important for you to be on a good protein regimen for life and a shortage of either can cause the body to hang on for dear life and you also need lots of vitamins too and well we all have to drink water *YUCK* but drinking it Question about protein drinks > > > > > > > > > I just started trying to get my protein in (One week post op) and > so > > > far....YUCK!! > > > They all leave that funky aftertaste that just grosses me out.

Guest guest Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 I'm taking 3 flintstone complete's and 4 caltrate chewables (until I get my stuff from vitalady). I'm getting about 60 grams of protein a day. I've ordered some powdered soy to add to my juice plus complete so that I can drink that as my protein drink. Is this right? I'm eating 3 small meals a day and occassionally I'll have 1/2 of a protein bar as a snack. The dr has me still on the soft foods /soups /etc until after I see him on 2/4. Perhaps then I'll be able to get more protein into my diet via food instead of drinks. Please let me know if you folks think I need to change anything!
