[desertmom 297]

Should I be able to drink a whole cup of broth in about 15 minutes,no problem?

Please tell me if I should drink less at a time?

Hi Desertmom!

My surgery was on March 12, 2012 and today is the first day I feel pretty normal besides being a little sore. I have no problems drinking liquids or broth. They are all going down with no resistance.I had 3/4 can Tomato basil Soup last night for supper with no problem but it did fill me up very well. I also can do Jello, puddings, yogarts and cream of wheat. Already had chocalate milk this am and now having hot peppermint tea.

Let me know if you have anymore questions since our dates are close.

Good Luck!

Hi,are you doing Protein?

[angel_nurse_texas 2]

I have tried and did some but I'm not a milk drinker and have a hard time even thinking about it. lol I do do greek yogart which is high in Protein. It will be easier on me after week 3 when I can do soft foods and get my protein in with food.< /em>

desertmom-- Hilarious, I just posted a similar question! I am 8 days out today and just drank an 8 ounce glass of milk in 10 minutes! I was horrified! Seemed like I shouldn't be able to do that! I wansn't even "full"

I too was sleeved on March 12. I also ave no trouble getting my liquids in. I am very comfortable eating puddings and applesauce so I am just hoping that once solids come in to play I will get that " full feeling". it's a bit scary that I am ok with everything so far.

I was sleeved the 12th too. Tonight I had mashed potatos.... a cup of them in about 20 mins... I can get full off Soup but this seemed to go right though me, I am wondering the same thing.... is that normal?????

im 8 days out today also...and noticed im able to drink alot faster..but i do try and slow down.. still cant eat that much Soup maybe about 1/4 to 1/2 cup and then im too full and im done.

as far as Protein im still using the Isopure clear protein..i bought it so i gotta use it.. 40 grams of Protein in one bottle but that take me 2 days to drink..

I get my protein with smoothie King Gladiator Protein powder in choc. I throw a dash of 1% milk and then mostly ice, and a tablespoon of pb and blend it up like crazy ....its soooo good. I drink half in the morning (1 scoop) and the other in the evening which gives me about 50 grams of protein.

I had my revision to sleeve on the 16th I am unable to get all of my Fluid in. It takes me nearly four hours to drink half a Protein Shake and I am beyond full and feel nauseated. I'm scared!! I need to be able to drink without a syringe

I had surgery on 3/12 and I can only drink about 20 oz a day and can only eat about 2 - 3 teaspoons of mashed potatoes. I have felt awful since surgery but they can't find what's wrong.

What did your surgeon say? Did you get the CT done?

[spadesmcloven 8]

Oh wow. I pray you get better. I also pray I can start eating more!!!!

I had my sleeve done on 2/17

This is my routine:

Morning 17oz Eas Myoplex. 300cal

5.5oz V8 30cal

Total time to complete 1 hour

45-60 min break inbetween

lunch One fish filet around 4oz 130cal

Total time 3 hours

45-60 min break inbetween

dinner One fish filet 4oz 130 cal

Total time 3 hours.

590cal/day average

Notice no Water inbetween. After 1 hour after my last meal Thats when I get my Water in. Usually a 20oz bottle which takes me an hour to drink.

Did I tell you that food sucks. I really hate to eat now. Maybe my doc put the ringer on me cause I did it for my job cause he knew I had no choice.
