I am 1 week postop and my doctor and nut keep telling me I have to have at least 30 grams of protein, I have just been on the shakes for so long I am over them. -

I am having so much trouble reaching my protein goal, that I feel like hungry ???? I can drink water all day but the protein I just can't do anymore. Feeling discouraged, because I can't even tell if it's head hunger or am I really hungry. -
So I have been diabetic for years, blood sugars always 250 or higher even with medicine. I am one week postop and my blood sugar right now is 80 and I feel very sick, I forgot to ask what I can drink to bring my sugars up a little, everything I have is sugar free. Someone help?
-
Thanks! Big adjustment to my body.
-
I figured 80 is normal, but I just don't think my body is used to it. My speech seems slurred and I am very shaky. I am going to try watered down orange juice. Thank you ????

I was on preop liquid diet for 12 days and then for 2 days after the surgery. I was able to have creamy soups, creamy yogurt, and unsweetened applesauce and 1 protein shake per day. I thought that was fast I have not really been able to eat that stuff well, my stomach feels full and like its stretching out with just water. Tomorrow is my 1 week postop appointment and if my doctor clears me I can have soft foods eggs, refried beans and cottage cheese. I drank to much protein shake this morning and have felt bloated on left side I can't get comfortable. I am still learning on what I can do and not do.

Question how did you guys set different goals for and by when you want to reach them. I have my overall weight goal but I would like to setup mile stone goals for me. How do I figure it out?
-
I am not weighing myself till Thursday the day of my postoperative visit. I purposely did not buy a scale, I obsess with it to much.
-
I was wondering the same thing. Even the preop diet some doctors allowed you to have some calories, I was on all liquid for 12 days. But I only had to do two days of liquid after surgery. Now I can have cream of wheat, yogurt, and creamy soup and protein shake. Maybe it does depend on the individual person.

I was sleeved on 1/15 and went home 1/16. I could not tolerate the pain meds at all, so my doctor put me on extra strength Tylenol and Advil that has helped a lot. The worse part has been the Gas pain horrible, horrible it had me in tears. I bought chewable gasx the strips did nothing for me. Today is my first day of purée foods, had cream of wheat for breakfast 1tsp, and I am now having some creamy Greek yogurt it taste so good. I am also to have 1 protein shake a day. I am taking 2oz in between meals. I am also having a lot of trouble getting in my water. I still have a lot of gas and feel very full. I am happy to say that I have had no issues with feeling nauseated, not taking the pain meds has helped out. I am praying for the rest of this gas to go away so I can feel better.
-
I had a bm after drinking 2oz of protein shake. Tmi but it felt so good, it got rid of some of my gas pains.

The first 3 days were the worst for me. Keep busy! I did a winter clean on my house, I got rid of things reorganized every room. For me it was all in my head I was day dreaming of food, I would even smell food that was no where near me. WILL POWER it will be so worth it later. -

We are all having the some thoughts, my biggest fear is also leaving my kids with out a parent. And the other one is what if I don't like the way I look when I am skinny. I think I have noticed more food commercials in the last two days then ever. I can't even believe the day is almost here. I am leaving everything in gods hands, praying for everything to come out good. -

I have been the same way hungry, hungry! Me to the "what if's" are driving me nuts. I am also trying to focus on anything else I can do but it's hard. -
I am scheduled for surgery on Thursday, I am just wondering for those of you who have had surgery what kind of yogurt did you get? I am able to have some on the 3rd day I was going to get stuff on Wednesday just to be prepared.

I guess I should call my dietician, because I am a little confused because my list says light yogurt or Greek yogurt. It says do not add fruit so do they mean plain or no chunks. Confused???
