Congrats on having a successful surgery. my surgeon and nut wound have yelled at me for such low protein. Don’t worry about good fat. dont count calories. most of us have failed on calorie counting diets. You really need more protein. Blend in a plain or vanilla Greek yogurt with your shakes. I eat a lot of eggs. Hard boiled and then mushed with a little Hellman mayo. I also mix tuna with a hard boiled egg and pickle relish. Make your shakes into pudding for a bed time snack. Protein is the most important piece of your diet now. Best -

As a former athlete, I slipped on the wet railing getting out out of the pool. I had a big meet in 2 days. My trainer, got a bucket filled with ice and cold water and put my foot in the ice bucket. After screaming, I kept my foot in there for 10 to 15 inutes every hour. In those days , at least at Ohio State, the trainers lived in the same dorm. The swimming trainer, woke me up every hour to plunge my foot into almost freezing water. I was an unhappy camper but in 24 hours the swelling was all gone, and at 48 hours, I had no pain in my ankle. I felt inspired and thankful and took 3 golds, 2 i

I was addressing my message to anyone and everything. I don't care who reads them. What I was trying to do is provide information and provide a little encouragement and maybe a little information. I am not on here often, but nice to "talk to you.

Type 1 diabetes cannot be cured by anything. Type 1 diabetes can only be controlled by insulin. In a few experimental procedures at the Joslin diabetes center, cadaver pancreas transplants have been put into people with type. 1. It is still early to know whether this a viable option. there are 4 types of Type 2 diabetes: 1. Type 1- total lack of native insulin from pancreas. 2. Type 2- The body makes insulin but the insulin becomes " resistant" to drug therapy. Most Type 2's wind up on insulin because their native insulin becomes totally resistant. Type2----

Cold cooked shrimp and tilapia were my "go to" foods early on and I still eat a lot of fish. Most varieties of fish and shellfish are packed with protein. i also make shrimp scampi a lot. My husband gets his over pasta. I put mine over zucchini swirls. i also put red sauce over the zucchini swirls with meatballs and or sweet Italian sausage . Yum.

Call your surgeon or someone else on the surgical team. You know your body and if something doesn't feel right call your surgical team. They want you to succeed.

Follow your surgeons instructions, not advice from other people. If you have questions, call The surgeons office. They have a bunch of people on the team.They are working for you and want you to succeed.

Call your doctor. You may be on the way to dehydration.

Just checking in to let you know I am still alive which is a good thing.
I am not adjusting well to chronic pain. Hubby not so supportive.
A corrective surgery( # 5 I think ) did not go well I may need #6.
for those who don't know me the surgeries were all orthopedic related to work related injuries.
will write more later

If you have a bypass, it is essential to take your vitamins daily as prescribed. Gastric bypasses are more likely to have vitamin deficiencies than sleeves. Also make sure you go to all your follow up appointments. Best wishes...
