Hi all. I am 5 weeks post-op. I've lost about 45 pounds. I was given clearance to eat soft proteins and veggies. My problem is the nut told me to eat 3 times a day with a small amount of the soft protein and still continue to drink the protein shakes as well as water. I tried to eat three times a day, but would feel nauseous in between portions. I am also struggling to get the protein shakes down, but I just can't take another one. I tried eating little bites 4-5 times throughout the day and that helped the nausea, but I gained 2 pounds. Anyone else feeling this frustration?
