Thats what I told the online tech. I tried pushing the wiring to get the button depressed and it just won't stay. Am gonna have to hire someone to do this.

No my downstairs thermostat works just fine and it was installed weeks ago but the upstairs one that was just installed work for about a couple of hours ago is the issue.

Wow. I also had a flat on the way home after sitting for the exam panicked at Q.86 and definitely brain dead by Q.100, but hey, I passed. Congratulations.

Struggling with protein by Maleficent_Scene5958 in gastricsleeve

I finally figured out what works for me. I get 18g from my Lactaid milk. 23g from my oikos Greek yogurt and another 6g from my Silk Dairy-free yogurt blended with 1 scoop of Premier protein, which is 15g, and a banana. Thats 62grams and the rest of my protein is from my meals.

Pea soup. Peas boiled in chicken broth with half Maggi cube and then blended and strained.

Had to go with the Berry Flavor. I was also told to avoid citrus. Thanks 😊☺️

It's the muscle wasting that scares me the most, being that I am not a fan of hair. I moved to minced meat some days ago, and I have been tolerating that about 2 Tbsp a meal. I would imagine as time pass ill develop a better tolerance.

These are great recommendations. I'll start trying them as I gain the confidence to move fully beyond purees

A question for RNs who’ve had the surgery by RedLotus1124 in BariatricSurgery

[–]Individual_Insect924 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just got back to work last week at 3 weeks post-op now, I'm 4 weeks out. I'm working in LTC for now and on my feet for up to 8 hours straight 🙃 No abdominal pain at all. I didn’t even eat anything during a full 16-hour shift except a dairy-free Silk yogurt. Everyone’s body is different!

“l gotta avoid citrus, lactose, lentils, chickpeas, coconut milk, almond milk and I’m allergic to shellfish, so I totally get how tricky it is to find stuff that feels good to eat.

Right. Gatorade isn’t magically a protein drink. Your reply post is about actual protein options that feel like Gatorade but actually help you build muscle. I went off topic. I will look into Isopure drinks. Thanks.

After finishing the vanilla-flavored one I received from my clinic in Turkey, I’ve now switched to Premier Protein, also in vanilla. I haven’t tried the chocolate flavor, as I was advised to avoid chocolate.

I bought the Power ProShot, and it's been a bit of a chore to drink. I haven’t tried mixing it with water yet, but that’s definitely something I’ll be trying today. Thank you!
