I am in my second week of post op liquid and the ONLY protien drink I can stand is the premixed, bottled Ispopure at GNC. It looks and tastes almosr like vitamin water. 90 grams of protien per bottle.

:party: Hi everyone. This is my first post, and I am hoping for some guidance. I was banded on 7/7/08 and have been incredibly depressed ever since. My surgeon says that surgery went well, but I have had alllergic reactions to ALL of the pain meds prescribed, so have taken only tylenol. Beyond that, I just feel uncomfortable in my own body. I am not hungry, but I am having an awful time with the idea that I can't eat. I am craving healthy foods, but am still restricted to liquids for another 10 days and I hate every kind of protien shake/drink I have tried. I know this is emotional and, though I expected it, I am just so unhappy. Any advice??

Thanks for your reply. Is blended frit allowed in the liquid stage?

Thanks so much to all of you who responded. I thought I was totally prepared for this - three weeks without real food? No big deal! But it is a huge emotional and physical adjustment. It feels good to know I'm not alone. Today I found an Isopure protien drink at GNC that is clear and actully tastes pretty good - almonst like vitamin water. Getting something other than water and chicken broth into me seems to have helped some, as has chewing gum - but I still can't wait to eat something substantial!

I know exactly what you mean. I am on day 6 and am so unhappy. I know this is mostly emotional, but I Sooo want to eat a real, healthy meal.
