I was on anything you can drink through a straw the first week of surgery.

I am on day 5- anesthesia kicked the crap out of me. I have eaten sugar free applesauce, sugar free vanilla pudding, light and fit Greek yogurt, and chicken broth. Haven't tolerated anything to finish yet and the list above is basically what I've attempted with partial success since surgery. Burping constantly which makes me feel better. Tired, cold, and wondering if this is all normal. If u can tolerate a cream Soup then do it! NOTHING tastes good to me.

I had some cream of chicken Soup today. It took me the whole day to finish one small can, but I'm going to bed satisfied! Tomorrow I will try and add in something else.

OMG - Me too! My surgery was Jan 3rd, and my Dr gave me 4cc's during surgery. How can I possibly be more hungry with 4cc's of Fluid in my band? I swear it's having the opposite effect! I'm drinking the same amount of Protein Shakes I did for pre-op, but now I'm STARVING. Pre-op I had no problem, wasn't feeling hungry at all. Now, since my pain has gone down some, I get to that point where my stomach is screaming at me that I should have eaten hours ago, even though it's only been a few hours since my last shake! Cramping and growling and half-nauseated... I'm so frustrated!

I'm not sure how much I was filled with, but when I was only on liquids, I was starving! I am doing better now with some thicker liquids and trying to get more Protein in.

I am sure I'm getting enough Protein, since I'm doing the same shakes I did before. I had a squeezable applesauce a few minutes ago, and that seems to have settled my stomach. Not sure why the shakes that were so great before the band aren't working now that I have it, but I think you're right Sam - something about that tiny bit of texture really makes a difference!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
