Just try as hard as you can to get to the nutrition goals, but if you can't, just try to get super close.<br /><br />I'm trying to think of some things that will help. Have you tried mixing protein powder in your atkins shake? When we were recovering we would take 1 atkins shake (the best is actually slim fast lower carb - 9 oz and 20 grams protein)<br />And then we would mix 1 scoop of protein in it. It would take us all morning to drink it, but by noon we had all of our protein in. After that, you can eat more savory throughout the day.<br /><br />I also made pumpkin pie and other various flavors because chocolate really gets to me sometimes.<br /><br />Hope that helps!mdlapbandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04473601140049901869noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438777039117764335.post-88491015431441367192012-05-13T05:24:59.230-04:002012-05-13T05:24:59.230-04:00I was allowed to take mine off a few days after su...I was allowed to take mine off a few days after surgery, but I didn't like the idea of scabby wounds rubbing against my clothes so I bought some surgical bandaids and sterilizing wipes at the drugstore and would just change them every couple of days until I felt comfortable being without them.Humble Beginningshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05165630419411115813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438777039117764335.post-83005339943826551012012-05-12T11:15:15.962-04:002012-05-12T11:15:15.962-04:00Hugs!

You're doing so well, don't be hard on yourself about the protein, just keep trying, sounds like you're working hard to figure out what works for you.

They soak off in the bath/shower. If you're worried, call the clinic, but I would be going with the instructions they gave you at the time.Sarahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01899213275796695472noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438777039117764335.post-46630325445655607332012-05-12T00:56:31.067-04:002012-05-12T00:56:31.067-04:00Congrats on the job!!!Congrats on the job!!!Sarah Ghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10014500072518327165noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7438777039117764335.post-86860584744578265882012-05-11T23:35:58.480-04:002012-05-11T23:35:58.480-04:00Congratulations on the job!!!

I think you just have to be careful not to get it too hot or it won't mix in good. I also made (and still do) and pureed black bean soup that was so good and had protein and fiber.Andreahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07064860942058643790noreply@blogger.com
