Day 15, 16, 17, 18, 19 and 20 post op

Day 20 Post op. Experiencing nausea that last few days.  Scale said 218.5 this am.

Struggling with the protein still.  The brand I enjoyed and was using post surgery, does not agree with me now.  It leaves me feeling nauseous for hours.  I drank a shake last night at 9 and woke up at 3am still feeling sick.  The Milk of Magnesa I choked down this this morning helped.  Thankfully.

Champion Protein Stack was my protein of choice.  I have a ton of it left...what a waste.  I tried Nectar Naturals by Syntrax.  I don't like the taste of it, but at least it doesn't make me sick.  I am on a journey to find a protein that agrees with me and that is palatable.

I tried plain Greek style yogurt with pureed frozen raspberries, sweetened with stevia this morning.  It was delicious!

I have a friend who had gastric bypass surgery one week after I did.  Her surgery was done in the traditional way by incision, and she is still struggling with pain and incision leakage after two weeks.  She had a bad experience with the first food she tried and her symtoms sound like dumping to me.  She sees her Doctor today and I pray she gets some relief soon.
