Dragonfly, you need a big hug! I am sorry that you've been through the wringer! I'm glad you're home again. I honestly think that if you can handle drinking water, the more you get in, the more it comes out. Your poor body has been through two major surgeries! In less than 2 weeks! Give...

That is wonderful! Those compliments from those we love are so special. I haven't tried on my rings yet. Keep up the great work!

Well I am a doofus. I thought the protein shots had a needle, like a b-12shot. It's a liquid shot! So forget that idea! I tried to find protein pills and I didn't understand them. If I found them, they had vitamins, amino acids, and didnt say what type of protein or how much. I am interested in...

Hey bamababy! You may be able to take them later in your journey. I was told no capsules. I can't remember how long until I can take them again. I suppose you can put it in apple sauce if that works for you. I heard they make protein shots. Haven't looked into it but I think I may just look...

That is very exciting. Congratulations!! You may not gain too much. Just keep the great attitude you have that had you lose 98 lbs in 7 months! You can take care of your health while your pregnant. It will make for an easier pregnancy. I bet they have you eat many small meals packed with veggies...

Oh my! I'm so glad she's out of surgery and hopefully will bounce back quickly. Please tell her my thoughts and prayers are with her and her children. I am sure it was a scary thing for them as well. Thanks for informing us.

I'm glad you're feeling better. You made the right decision. Let us know how the Miralax works. I almost bought some OTC but was scared.

I'm so glad you're home! Sorry about the pain. Hopefully your pain meds help. For me each day was better than the last. Get rest, walk and get that fluid in. More fluid in = more fluid out!

Sunshine, I used to drink them all the time. I think the bottle size you're talking about is 2 servings. 30g of protein is for the whole bottle, I'm not sure if that goes for the sugars. They are yummy but too much sugar. I'd try something else. Proasis makes a fruit flavored protein drink...

Hi mmccarty, I had my surgery a couple of days before you. I have had my bouts with the protein powder. I am doing better with the Unjury unflavored. I make mine with crystal light. If I mix the crystal light first, I don't notice the smell. Once it sits a few minutes, it all blends. Much better...

I'm sorry to here of your complications. Very glad you're home safe. Get some rest and just do your best. It gets better everyday!

I'm glad you're home and doing well. That bruise sounds big. I had bruising around all of my incisions. They were big in size but not as big as you've described. They're pretty much gone now. The incisions look better than I thought they would. Keep up the great work.

That attitude will get you through anything! Wishing you all the best!

I really didn't have a major goal at first. I just wanted to get out of the 200 club. I then decided that I weighed around 140 for a good part of my adult life. It's smack in the middle for healthy BMI for my height. So I'm going for it!

Welcome Becca! I hope you don't take this wrong, but I had to laugh when I saw the title to your thread because I thought to myself, she must be on day 4 of the pre-op liquid diet. Yes this is normal. It should get better in a couple of days. I was very irritable and could of poked someone in...
