The Catheter For Men
Strangefruit replied to bakawaka's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I am a female and I had a catheter... Not fun, but my bladder was "asleep" for a while after surgery and it was really necessary... I imagine its easier in a vajayjay than a schmeckel, but I think its the least of your worries! :-) -

Shamrock, do you have a nut or doctor that is local for you? Sounds like it would be good to pay them a visit.. -

I Can't Drink One More Protein Shake!
Strangefruit replied to SleeveShelly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am two weeks post op and SICK of protein shakes... I am gagging them down and hope to be moved to soft foods on Monday... -
You should not have had to go through that! I was given a pill crusher and shown how to use it before surgery... The pill will taste awful ... I sprinkle mine on a tablespoon of Jello... It helps to get it down. Good luck!

What Is Your Average Caloric Intake?
Strangefruit replied to Strangefruit's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Premier protein from Costco... 30 gr protein, 3 gr carbs and 160 cal per serving... 3x a day is 480 cal... A bit more if I add flavor syrups for variety... -
Post Op Diet 2Nd Stage (Creamed Soups, Oatmeal Etc..)
Strangefruit replied to melinda48's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
This forum hurts and helps at the same time! I am 2.5 weeks out - still on protein and soup and just read the post of someone 7 days out told to start scrambled eggs! Apparently each doctor has their own thing... There is nothing consistent except the surgery! -
Great idea... Thanks!

500 is a lot for protein shakes? I have 3 per day and they average 160-180 calories each.. I supplement the rest w broth or soup. Hmmmmmm.... -
Whats Wrong With Me?/
Strangefruit replied to newgrandmother's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think she was just offering advice! We are all here to help each other, right? As with any advice, "eat the fish and spit out the bones", meaning we are all free to follow or disregard what seems to be a good fit for us... -

I just tried butternut squash bisque, it was delish and 1/2 cup very filling. A nice change from the sweet protein shakes! -
You Know You've Been On Liquid Protein Too Long, When:
Strangefruit replied to Strangefruit's topic in Post-op Diets and Questions
Ugh, I feel for you... Luckily in my case, my husband does a lot of the cooking anyway, so while I am on Protein, I stay out of kitchen when husband and kids eat.
