30Cc Of Protein Drink....then Pain



Recommended Posts

Yes, I try to get my Protein in everyday and I'm still struggling to get through an entire day without pain. I drank 15cc of nectar Fuzzy Navel, and it went down fine. I followed it up with another 15cc about 10min later, and I've been in abdominal pain since. This was about 2hours ago. I'm afraid to drink anything now. I haven't gotten any more than maybe 20oz of protein on any given day before pain or stomach upset starts. I'm 7 days out today, I should be able to get this stuff down by now, well according to my NUT, I should. Anybody else having problems? What am I doing wrong?

Hi!

I am 4-days out and enjoying lots of gas pain and misery. I am finding that the only thing to remedy this is walking and trying to relax. My mini-meltdown yesterday caused all sorts of havoc on my tummy. My P.A. told me that sometimes the tummy pain is actually caused by hunger. Maybe you are just not getting enough nutrition and cant reach the happy spot because your body actually wants more?

Dont try to force it, though. Try something else. I am having great luck with the Isopure Protein Drinks. They are really mild.

Good luck to you. I know it is difficult, but you can do it!

You're right about me not getting enough nutrition, because I've started feeling hunger. I'm going to try some applesauce, someone suggested that in another thread. Thanks

      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.
