Hello everyone so as of today I am 10 days post op. I have been struggling really bad trying to get the protein shakes in me. They make me want to vomit! everyday I try and take a sip and I just can’t. I end up drinking broth. I have no issue getting my water intake but I can’t get any protein in me. I feel fine as of today but I know I need the protein. Does anyone have any suggestions on other ways I can get protein in me? Thanks for any suggestions.

Oh wow that sounds horrible! I get tired of sweets so I definitely understand but I’m glad you found an alternative:) unfortunately I’m not allowed yogurt during this stage. That’ll be my next phase

Thank you I definitely will. Going to Walmart tomorrow to buy different flavors.

Looks like im gonna have to give those a try because I keep hearing how those taste good. The vanilla is definitely too sweet and tastes artificial

That’s honestly a really good idea. I’ll definitely give it a try

I drink the premier protein as well but it’s the vanilla flavor and it just doesn’t sit well with me. I think I need to explore my horizons and try other flavors. I’ve heard good things about the chocolate

Yum that actually sounds pretty good! Definitely will give that a try too. Thanks dodo much. I don’t want to harm my body by not getting any protein in

Thank you everyone for the suggestions! Didn’t realize there were unflavored protein powders out there. I think I’ll definitely look into that and give it a try because I need to get some protein in me! Also the pudding idea was a good one too thanks again everyone. I just wanna make it to my next phase at least which isn’t in two weeks nod then I can eat soft eggs refried beans etc thank god! Lol

Good luck!!! You will have success ! Just remember to keep yourself hydrated and walk walk walk!

Hello everyone. So today was my first Post Op appointment. My surgery was Jan 30th 18. I am proud to say I am down 15 pounds!!!!!! HW 235 SW 230 CW 220 I was feeling a little discouraged and down this past week because giving up food was hard for me but this definitely gave me that confidence I needed! I’m happy to say I don’t regret this surgery! Looking forward for the future! Would also love to hear anyone else’s stats

That’s amazing ! Congrats

Yes this is most definitely the hardest thing I’ve done too ! We shall celebrate every inch and pound !

Thank you

Yay!! Thank you

Congratulations on your weight loss so far that’s amazing !! I have minimal to no pain at all but everyone’s recovery is different. I would definitely reach out to your surgeon regarding your concerns.

That’s awesome!! Congratulations!

Thank you and good luck!!

Thank you and good luck on Friday

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much! And congrats on your weight loss as well best wishes to you

Thank you so much you’re right not easy but surely will payoff

Hello everyone. So on Jan 30th I finally had my surgery ! my surgery went great. My only issue that I have is gas pain. I can’t seem to get rid of it. It’s so uncomfortable and I’ve been walking but nothing seems to help. Any other ideas to help get rid of it?

I haven’t gotten a scale either but I’ve noticed as well. My wedding ring fits more comfortably as before it was a little tight. I can tell in my face too so I’m excited to see how much I’ve lost. My first post op is actually this Monday so I will find out how much I’ve lost I can’t wait. I don’t know when I’ll buy a scale. Before when I tried dieting i got so obsessed with it that it discouraged me so I might hold off for a bit. Lol I know this sounds bad but I’m looking forward to being 3-4 weeks out just so I could have some scrambled eggs! I miss eggs. Or even a tuna salad or chicken salad. Yum!!!

I start my protein shakes tomorrow and I already know I’m gonna have a problem with them! For the first time today though I heard my stomach growl a little and I was like “holy crap am I hungry?” Lol but as far as feeling full I don’t even feel hungry and my surgeon is only allowing me to drink water and low calorie until tomorrow but with drinking them I don’t need feel the need to keep drinking if that makes sense lol guess once I start healing and I’m able to introduce myself to some kind of food I’ll see see whether or not I get full. I’m not hungry though. Omg I miss soda too so so so much!! That was my addiction. Makes me a little depressed but I know this is what’s best for my health. Applesauce mixed with water? How is that? Lol

Yayyy!! I’m seriously so happy to find other people who’ve had it the same day. How are you feeling today and how did yours go?
