I'm six weeks out, saw the nurse practitioner today, and I can eat anything. I'm nervous that I'll screw this up but also concerned because I haven't been hungry yet; I eat according to the time of day. I've been getting approx. 48-53g of protein each day. I've only been able to get about 23-26 oz. of water in each day and I sip throughout the day up til bedtime. I have been told that I need to increase the protein a bit and drink more water. I asked if it was time to consider a protein supplement and she suggested trying a protein bar for the extra protein. I've been very diligent in choosing good foods to eat for the most protein intake. She also seemed surprised that I had not had any protein shakes. I'm embarrased to say that I don't know how to make them. I'm going to bring this topic up at my support group meeting next week but also looking to all of you for suggestions.
I've lost 32 lbs, losing inches, and feel great other than being REALLY tired. I was told to up by B-12 at my month visit and it has helped, I can at least focus at work better, but still really tired.
Suggestions??????
