Doing better today?

I'm totally convinced now. Lol. I'm buying some first thing in the morning! :-)

Hang in there! I said a prayer for you. :-)

I couldn't handle anything until 3 full days after surgery except clear liquids. :-). I try to burp every time I take a drink. I want to avoid the gas pains.

I find it so strange how different the diet directions are for post Op patients. I asked my dietician if I could eat soft foods and she said to hold off because I'm not healed yet. I get nervous to move on to the next step, but it would be great to have more options. I wish you the best!!!

Animal Protein is the best protein for our tiny tummies. I'm lactose intolerant so I do soy right now until I can eat regular foods. I asked my Dietician about Almond and Rice milk. She did not recommend it due to the need to get in the best quality protein which comes from regular low fat milk.

Yes on the powder peanut butter, but no on the Unjury. I ordered it online.

My Dietician told me that I should consider all liquids as part of the fluid intake. I'm 5 days out and I am doing good with water. It's the protein consumption. I can't wait until I can transition into mushy foods.

Yes. I like it because you can make your own kind of drink and it doesn't need to be super sweet. I add stevia to my sweet level. I've tried adding it to soup....no bueno. Lol

It's an unflavored protein powder. I bought in online.

Congratulations!!! I wish you all the best!

I'm on my 5th day out of surgery. I'm still on full liquids. :-/. I found one drink I can Stomach.

Walmart in the peanut butter section. I just stumbled upon it. If you find something that works...please share. I wish you a speedy recovery! :-)

Ok, so I finally found something I can stomach. Unflavored Unjury with unsweetened cocoa and low cal peanut butter powder. I can sweeten it to my liking. The peanut butter powder and cocoa mask the smell of the protein. Thank God!!!

I'm only 4 days out. I'm gonna try the mushy stage tomorrow. If I can handle it...I'm sticking to it. I'd rather eat regular bland for vs. another protein shake right now. I'll drink the protein flavored waters, but "NO MORE PROTEIN SHAKES". Lol

How are you feeling?

How far out are you?

I'm gagging on just the smell of the Protein powder. I don't know how to get enough calories in. I don't want to puke. I am not hungry at all. This is wild. I pray for the day I can begin to eat normal food. Thank you.

I wonder if you're not getting enough calories. It makes our body's metabolism slow down and hold onto weight because it thinks it's starving. Although 12 lbs. is a lot of weight. :-). I'm concerned about this myself. I have my first post Op check up Friday, so we shall see. Remember to be kind to yourself. :-)

Ok...so I just had a melt down. Radiating pain coming from my tummy and I cannot eat or drink anything accept the protein flavored water. I don't want to lose my hair. I cannot get anything sweet past my lips without gagging. Im avoiding puking too. Just to hiccup hurts. I can't imagine enduring that pain. I emailed my Dietician, but she hasn't emailed me back. I'm able to get enough liquids to avoid dehydration, but I know I need protein to achieve the results I am wanting with my skin, hair, and nails. Ok...I'm done ranting.

I'm doing better today. Thank God! I plan on going for a walk with my dogs tomorrow. I hope it will help eliminate the remainder of the gas. I'm doing my best to try and burp every time I take a drink to help alleviate extra gas pains. So far today I haven't felt nauseous. Thank God!!!
