It's done!

Oct 31, 2013

I've made it through surgery and have been discharged early from the hospital! I am REALLY struggling with protein. The doctor usually has patients on a clear liquid whey protein isolate diet for 14 days after surgery, but I am hardly able to get any down at all. I feel as though I'm being overdramatic when I say that it makes me gag, but it really does! The smell is so hard to overcome in Isopure and Nectar, and as soon as I take a sip, I get this snotty mucus down the back of my throat and tongue. I'm going to try the Unjury tomorrow, but if that doesn't work, I'm going to have to skip the clear liquid stage. I already discussed this with the doctor. I know that pre surgery, I tolerated EAS AdvantEDGE premixed shakes with soy protein isolate VERY WELL, and we'll give those a shot as well as the Jay Robb Egg White protein. Luckily, I'm not struggling with my hydration, which is good! I managed to keep an entire cup of sugar free jello down today, so that's something.

I'm just glad the whole ordeal is over and I can start my new, skinny life!
