Hi I am exactly one month out and my doctor has approved me for regular foods, but I'm having a hard time figuring out what to eat each day. I haven't been able to stomach protein shakes so I know I need to make sure I'm getting as much protein as possible from my food. I've also been stalled for over a week now which is discouraging. I was hoping some of you guys could post what you typically eat each day for your meals to give me some ideas. I've never been good at figuring out what to eat so if I had some ideas I thought it might help me. I'd really appreciate any advice! Thank you!

Oh yeah I've tried them all. Pre made, powder, protein waters, you name it. Thank you David!

Hi guys. I'm wondering if anyone has any advice for getting my protein in. Ever since my surgery I haven't been able to stomach any protein shakes. I've tried Atkins, Unjury, Premier Protein, Isopure Zero Carb protein waters. I can't handle any of them. I'm in puréed stage. I've tried drinking out of a cup with a lid as my NUT thought it might be a heightened sense of smell making it difficult to get the shakes down. Everything I try is just overwhelming taste and smell of protein. I need to be getting it somehow and I'm at a loss.

I'm six days post op and the only thing I can tolerate is water and SF Popsicles. The protein shakes I had during my pre op are terrible tasting now and I don't know what to do. I had to come back to work today (office job sitting all day) and only been here an hour and feel horrible. The nausea just will not go away even with the med from Doctor. Any suggestions? I know I need to be getting protein but everything is making me sick.

I took a week off. Thankfully they are letting me work from home if needed I just hate doing that because I'm not nearly as productive as being in the office. I will try the recommendations thank you all! I talked to my doctor and she suggested V8 with unflavored protein in it. Fingers crossed!

Hi I had my surgery yesterday and the gas pain is unbelievable. I've tried gas x, warm water and I have walked and walked and walked. I don't know what else to do. I can't even sit up in bed. I'm only slightly less in pain if standing. It's under one of my breaks near my rib age then another one lower abdomen. I also dry heaved twice and it was rough I'm worried about busting a staple. I tried a sugar free Popsicle got about four licks and immediately started dry heaving. I am in so much pain and have no idea what else to do. I am taking my liquid hydrocodon but it takes forever to kick I .

Thank you all for the tips and advice. I really appreciate and fingers crossed this gas bubble finds its way out soon!

Has anyone used southwest bariatrics in Austin? My doctor recommended them, but I wanted to see what kind of experience others had. Thanks!
