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.....

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.

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.

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

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.

Brooks197 please add me I need meal ideas.

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 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?
