Ask for an appt. Have them explain why this is normal.

I had surgery on 8/25 and I have become lactose intolerant. Every protein powder I try I throw up or it comes quickly out the other. I tried a egg based shake today and I only got 4gulps in before I got nauseous from it. I think today's was just the taste though it was nasty.

I had mine on the same day. You just have to try things and see how you like them. I pureed can chicken then added different kinds of soups to it to make it taste different. I like won ton soup so I pureed it and added chicken. It was yummy. My husband grilled out on Labor day and made me a turkey burger that I pureed with beefy mushroom soup and it was really good. Just play around with it.

I talked to a nurse friend of mine and she gave me some home remedies. It is so much better. Thanks for all your concerns. Now just to figure out how to get my protein and water in.....

Had my surgery on August 25.I am having such a hard time eating. I cant eat my minimal amounts. My stomach doesnt hurt at all its my throat. [ATTACH]47623[/ATTACH] I know its gross but really the only thing that im getting down are popsicles. Im calling the doc on Monday. Oh by the way I cant drink shakes they make me sick. I have tried several different kinds.

I sent my stuff and they called me to make sure the dr sent in the prescription. They did but haven't heard anything else.

I think the way I feel if I had a office job I could go back. I work with special needs children so you cant explain to them that you just had surgery to be gentle so my dr won't release me yet. I haven't had any pain meds since Wednesday night and that was just to help me sleep.

And I feel great. Yes I have the air under my ribs but other than that im truly blessed. So please share your favorite pureed meals. Gotta get some ideas.

I am 5 days post op. I had my husband take vacation time and the first day I was sending him on stuff he wanted to do. I had laparoscopic gastric bypass. If your mom wanted to send the week with you that would make her feel better but I haven't NEEDED him as much as it was just nice having him there for just in case of. Extra hand to help you off the couch or make a meal when your tired. Do you have friends that can check on you?

Had my surgery on the 25th and they scratched my throat so bad that I cant swallow. Im having a hard time getting my food down.

I can but I was trying to not be a wimp

Duh it will be Tuesday before I can call. Any suggestions

Brooks197 please add me I need meal ideas.

I started the shakes last Tuesday night and for three days I threw up violently. They finally took me off them and I started the south beach diet. Which I will not loose nearly enough liver fat. But I want to know what im going to do after surgery? How will I get enough protein if I cant tolerate the shakes?

I am supposed to be on it for 2 weeks but couldnt keep it down. Im on south beach now but im scared it won't shrink my liver.

Should I try again even if I continue to throw it up? That way I can shrink it?

My surgery is August 25. I started my two week shakes this past Monday and threw it up violently. I was on it 3 days before my nut took me off. I am having to to south beach now. What is everyone's opinion on 2-3 days before surgery if I try the shakes again throwing up or not? I just don't want them to not do the surgery because my liver is too big.

I go Tuesday for pre op. Can't wait. Very excited!

I take a daily anti inflammatory for bursitis and I hope I will be able to find something to take care of it after I have surgery.

I just found out my surgery date is August 25. I cant wait. I am not doing this to loose weight I am having to do this for my health. When I started this journey I weighted 245ish. I didnt own a scale. Now I have lost down to 225. But I have had so many health problems in my life that its unreal. I'm only 35. My mother had the same health problems so my doctors dont want my organs to shut down like hers did. I am nervous but im more excited.

I cant wait until I can do the same thing. Congratulations

Congrats! I can't wait till I can say the same.

So I am pre-op and I have to take B-12 3 times a week. Multi vitamin2x daily Calcium citrate 3x a day The only thing I have heard about every two hours was dont take your pills with less than 2 hours in between so ur body can absorb it.

Its all I think about!
