I Definitely Regret Surgery.... So Far!



Recommended Posts

I like greek yogurt for Protein, Fage 0 is available a lot of places and it has 23 grams of Protein per cup. I like it with splenda stirred in or made into a yogurt smoothie (1/2 cup yogurt, 1/4 cup Water, splash OJ, couple of frozen strawberries, and some splenda.

Cottage cheese is good for protein too. powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes a plain Protein powder that can be mixed with other foods. I think people like it with pudding. I don't care for it myself, but lots of people do.

Glad the gatorade is going down without a problem! Fluids are #1 towards feeling better.

I think you should go to the hospital and get an IV,it helped a lot when I got dehydrated . I hope you feel better soon!

Have you tried Isopure? A lot of people don't like it but you could mix it with crystal lite or gatoraide. It's very high in Protein and isn't milky like other Protein drinks, it's more of a Kool-aide consistency.

Glad to hear your're keeping things down now. Egg drop Soup has quite a bit of Protein in it too.

All I can say is meee too! I was going to post the same thing you posted not long ago...but I knew what everyone was going to say. I just tried to force myself to drink and not pressure myself on making the daily quota of what is required. ie..64 oz of Fluid and 60 gm so of Protein. I get about half of that right now. I keep striving so that I can get to the point of what's required. I can say that I'm getting better. A couple weeks ago I'd walk upstairs and I could literally pass out! I was not eating or drinking enough. I'm 7 weeks out now and I am getting better. I'm not perfect...but I'm getting better. Hang in there and make small goals to accomplish each day. Trust me I know exactly what you are going through!

you know what? dont worry so much ab out the Protein. I couldnt, and still cant stomach Protein Shakes. Try nibbling on a Protein Bar if you feel you must get your protein in. it gets better once you start eating "real" foods. just being able to nibble on saltines and cream cheese gave me energy. i couldnt do broth, or Isopure drinks. I lived off of popsicles and frozen yogurt tubes. hopefully things start to turn around for you soon.

Have you contacted your dr for something for the nausea? Keep drinking, you can do it. I am 7 weeks out and believe me it gets better. I was that way too.

Hope you feel better soon.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
