Hi guys im 10 days pre op, i had my surgery in Balboa Navy Medical Facility on the 6th of July. I was released on the 8th of July. so far touch wood im drinking ok and eating ok (full fluids ) I can get in about 6 oz of cream soups at a time it takes about 20 -30 mins. but im still struggling to get in 70 grams of protein i guess i could drink protein drinks all day but id be getting in nothing else. other fluids im getting about 60 0z a day, so not dehydration problems.

good luck with your surgery and a speedy recovery

If you have trouble finding it make your own out of plain yogurt drained through a coffee filter or cheese cloth.. if you strain it for like 24 hours a lot of the carbs are drained away .I buy torani sf flavours and use those to sweeten then eat or take half a cup of ice a couple of teaspoons of drained yogurt and add some rasberry torani flavoured syrup (or davanci) and blend it up in my magic bullet and make a yummy slushi for fluids.

i have a strawberry flavoured protein that i didnt think was that great so i mixed it in with a rasberry jello it made it the consistancy of pudding but it was one way that the protein powder was tolerable so if worst comes to worst ill do that. I have tried nectar fuzzy navel not 100 pc great but better than some of the thicker flavours but i found it needed to be watered down more than they said. im still struggling pre op to find the protein i like.

I was just wondering why this link at the bottom of the page " This Fourm is Part of WLSBoards.com " is directly linked to explicit porn with no caution or warning at all lol

ok thank you

have you tried mixing your protein powder in hot chocolate/ coffee to see if it is more palatable and or adding sugar free flavours to it. or tried adding it to sugar free pudding or jello if you cant drink it maybe you can eat it.or maybe freeze a shake and see if you can eat it as a ice treat rather than a shake

Is that not when you add in more "healthy" carbs like whole wheat bread? (if you can tolerate it) rather than up your quantity of food can you not just make it higher in calories so your not eating more? that sounds rather scary going under 100 lbs

when i went through the procedures to get approval all the way along is about making changes in order to succeed. I believe id only be fooling myself if i believe that not doing so and only eating smaller portions is going to work long term, yes it would be nice but eating as i have been led me to surgery in the first place.. if i can only eat smaller amounts what happens when im two years out and eating a lot more than i can when i first have surgery??. my plan calls for no more white bread, Pasta, rice and alot of sugar and those are changes i am willing to make.
