Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Anytime and everyone is different. It's just trying to find what works best for you! There is not any standardization to the post op nutrition info. It varies from surgeon to surgeon. Good luck and you are doing great for being only 13 day post op - keep up the great work!

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 AT least for me, and I think for those who use Pro-Complex, we replace the meal with the protein drink. For me, sometimes, I have Pro-Complex shake (or mixed with yogurt) INSTEAD of two meals a day, and I eat one meal. Some days I eat two meals and have the Pro- Complex or other protein drink instead of the third meal. (Remember, Richmond is against drinking the protein, they want you to eat regular foods.) --Sandi > > > > > > > Well I do have at least one protein shake a day 20gms of > protein > > 90 calories but still not getting enough.

Guest guest Posted June 21, 2005 Report Share Posted June 21, 2005 Sue, is randy working on losing weight? That happens to me when I'm pregnant. There is protein in my urine. If I remember correctly, it was an indication that my body was metabolizing my muscle tissue for nourishment. I had severe vomiting, couldn't keep much down. thus the protein thing.

Guest guest Posted June 22, 2005 Report Share Posted June 22, 2005 BElow is info I copied from a website. Is Randy's blood sugar within normal range? If so, that I don't believe would be the cause. For me, it was the result of a starvation situation. As you can see, it can also result from a high protein low carb diet. My doctor was not concerned. Laurie What abnormal results mean Return to top A positive test may indicate: Metabolic abnormalities, including uncontrolled diabetes or glycogen storage disease Abnormal nutritional conditions, including starvation, fasting, anorexia, high protein or low carbohydrate diets Protracted vomiting, including hyperemesis gravidarum Disorders of increased metabolism, including hyperthyroidism, fever, acute or severe illness, burns, pregnancy, lactation or post-surgical condition ____________________________________________________ Yahoo!

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Tammy, I'm not sure it is, though you'd find people who will tell you that it is. I am in correspondence with several long term post-ops who are successful, and they all use protein shakes, but it's really a matter of personal choice. I feel better having them than not, but then I'm Fremont and they want us to have them. LaWanda At 07:02 PM 7/1/05, you wrote: >Do we have to have protein shakes?

Guest guest Posted July 2, 2005 Report Share Posted July 2, 2005 Tammy, Dr Baggs told me the same thing. I am going to try without, but if I start to really get too low on energy I might have to take something, maybe in powder form to add to my food? Anyone have success with that instead of the protein drinks? I just can't choke those down, well I couldn't pre-op.... Thanks, Kay > >Do we have to have protein shakes?

Guest guest Posted July 18, 2005 Report Share Posted July 18, 2005 Well, that puts you ahead of me. I'm 47, and STILL not adult!
