Re: Re: Protien

[Guest guest]

Theresa,

I was told the same thing by my surgeon....I was getting sick off of the

flintstones chewable vitamins so I was told to skip the vitamins and the protein

for a month and to concentrate on healing...Of course they said once the month

was up I was going to have to be hyper viligant of both my protein and my

vitamin intake....

to worry about amounts of

anything for the first four weeks. Not protein, not vitamins, not

liquids, not sugar. I was told to concentrate on healing, getting in

as much liquid as I can, eat what felt comfortable and that it would

all come together. Just on the cusp of my third week, everything is

starting to stay where it was put! Ok, I have had to have some stern

talkings to with my stomach, but its starting to get trained!

Anyone else been given similar advice for the first month?

Thanks,

Theresa
