nutrition advice

[loumanc82 2]

Hiya i was banded on the 3rd july, still feeling very lousy and think its because im not getting the right nutrition. Im currently allowed soft foods with lumps in, not mashed up. Like Soup with bits in. So ive been pretty much living off just that. I do my home made Soups jam packed with veg but feel like im missing something else. Any suggestions?xx

Can you be more specific re: "feeling lousy"?

[loumanc82 2]

Lousy- feeling abit drained, lack of energy, feeling a little weak. Just not feeling right xx

Could be low Protein? I have found that when I have had those symptoms, my protein intake has been low.

Are you having a Protein Shake?

I agree. Drink Protein Shakes and add some meat to those Soups. If you're not consuming enough Protein, your stomach will pass veggie soups into your GI tract quickly leaving you hungry and feeling nauseated.
