Mid week update

I know it has been a few days since I have posted. Life has been busy! I have been doing very well with eating. I have found out that protein bars make me dump. They are too sweet! For those that do not know what "dumping" is, let me explain. Sometimes when you eat certain foods, or drink while you eat, your pouch moves the food into the intestines way too quick! This can cause nauseau, vomiting, and lots of other fun things. It can last anywhere from one hour to eight hours depending on the severity. It is not fun so I will definitely not be trying protein bars again for a while.

After the surgery, the plan is to get at least 60 grams of protein a day. When you hardly eat, this is really hard to accomplish! I have barely reached half that goal on some days. So I read about Proteinex18. It is a liquid protein (that tastes like cough medicine). Every two tablespoons=18 grams of protein! I finally got the shipment yesterday. I read on some website that mixing it with some Crystal Light is the way to go. I can hardly taste the Proteinex. I will finally be able to get my protein in!
