What to expect right after surgery?
Cyr replied to JerseyJules's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I'm a week post op tomorrow still dizzy weak... So about 59 g of protein but force myself to and about 40 of water . Any suggestions? -
Got sleeved 1/8/15 and unfortunately have not lost weight or moved my bowels. I was released today from the hospital finally due to low potassium and high White blood cells and overall extreme nausea and weakness . I tolerate Protein shakes but and a tiny bit( 2 baby spoons if that) of cottage cheese. My dr want me to focus in fluids not protein right now ... Does anyone suggest or have a time menu to balance out when I should be having liquid or Proteins and amounts ??? I am not hungry and No urge to drink or anything. Had Jello and popcicles which I love but not crazy about any other foods ... Suggestions ?!?!? I know i need to get protein in !

Measuring amounts-and protein shake ? please help!
Cyr posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello all!! My surgery is next week the 8th and I'm getting all my stuff together before and I'm just wondering what's the BEST way to measure liquids and yogurts, broths , pudding ects. Since 4oz is the amount per serving I want to make sure I measure it accurately not guesstimate . Where and what do u buy to measure liquids and foods with OZ amount not cups amount ?!?! Also my Protein intake for the 2 week liquid will be mainly Protein powder shakes BUT I love Premier Protein premade with 30 g. Is this ok to use 3 days post op?!? Or is it too heavy?!!! Suggestions please !!! Thanks Thanks in advance !! -

Cyr replied to Cyr's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thank you Chele & STW Your help is appreciated. Will go to target tomorrow. Don't think ill buy a scale , I'll use the 1/2 measuring cup for solids like yogurt, broths, cottage cheese etc. Have you ever diluted the Premier shake with Milk instead of Water? I think I will try that Also, for a shopping list could you make sure I have the essentials for the first two weeks: ( money is tight, so im doing the basics) Protein shakes Crystal Light Measuring devices chewable Vitamin sugarless popsicles sugarless pudding or Jello. Cream based Soups ( any recommendations?) Greek yogurt. ( I think Dannon Fit light is the best in protein?) What else do I need for the first two weeks, I've seen a lot of people having gas issues. I'm having the Sleeve , if either of you had the sleeve do you recommend Gas X strips or any liquid kind? Cal Citrate ( after 2 weeks) Thanks in advance!!! Im very nervous for this but am excited at the same time!!! -
