5 Days Post Op

I have noticed that I am starting to get hungry between meals. Also how do I get my Protein in ? Drink protein instead of Soup? So confused.

I drank Protein Shakes between meals. It helped! Now I am four weeks post op and not hungry between meals.

Get your Protein in first with shakes

It helped me to structure my day and evening...and to schedule "meals" (post op replaced with my Protein shakes) to be certain to meet my Protein goals every day. shakes were scheduled in place of meals to get to my daily protein goal. Prior to structuring my time, I was sort of drifting through the day and evening, and did not get near enough protein or fluids to drink.

Between my Protein shake "meals", I kept a bottle of Water with me and sipped from it often...that was essential to avoid becoming dehydrated.

Best wishes on your journey...

sounds like you are healing

the more i healed, the hungry returned (but that was just me)

protein, drink those shakes (especially if you on liquids still)

just keep doing what you are doing and stay positive and focused

you are doing so well

During week one I would have 8 oz of stock and then an hour later a Protein Shake. Did this 3 times a day.

I was banded on Thursday 9/20, my doc wants met to have at least 60g-70g of Protein a day... I bought whey Protein powder from GNC, not bad.
