bettyb71 38 Posted June 16, 2013 I was done on June 11 and want to see if where I am and what I am doing is right. They give u all kinds of info, but I'm still not sure if what I'm doing is right. Finding it real hard to get the Protein and liquids in that I need. I'm doing about 12ozs of Protein Shakes a day and and 30ozs of Water only. Plus doing some sf pudding with dry milk added in for calories. I'm tired and taking a few naps a day...am I just lazy or is that normal, lol. Where is everyone else?

bettyb71 38 Posted June 16, 2013 Have u tried sf pudding or Jello? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladybug71 19 Posted June 16, 2013 I don't like Jello. I made some pudding but haven't tried it . Doesn't sound good. I made some cup of Soup with this tiny dehydrated noodles and think i will try that Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mulan3472000 5 Posted June 16, 2013 I was sleeved on the 10th. I find all the broths nasty so I found a recipe. 2 regular sized cans of chicken broth, 2 scallions cut into long pieces, 2 tbs soy sauce and a piece of ginger. Simmer for 10 minutes. Much better tasting. A bit more sodium but at this point who cares. I can't get enough Water in either. I hate the Protein Shakes and the Vitamins make me ill, hate the chalkiness. Ughh. Hope my body doesn't conk out on me before 7/1. That's my three week mark and I can eat mushy foods. That day can't come soon enough.

Prettynpink1982 103 Posted June 16, 2013 I I was sleep on June 11 and I am getting three of my Protein Shakes and 20 g of Protein each.. And the Protein shakes are about 10 to 12 ounces each... Plus I have about 24 fat 32 ounces lightly flavored water with light cranberry juice or light apple juice Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bettyb71 38 Posted June 16, 2013 Can I suggest a really yummy Protein drink...Chike! I didn't think I would be successful because I hated all the protein drinks until I found it. It's very good and no after taste. 1 Wink reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Prettynpink1982 103 Posted June 16, 2013 It is getting easier to get my liquids in and I also have some chicken noodle Soup that i strain because the broths taste nasty so this taste a little bit better... So hopefully I am staying hydrated I feel pretty good I took my liquid B12 today for some more energy... I am looking forward to having strained cream Soups next week... And having purée the following week Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladylaura 77 Posted June 17, 2013 I was sleeved on June 10th. I drink my Protein Drink (power from GNC) that's 25 gr of Protein, and sometimes just two of those. Other times, one of those and one Premier Protein (which is only 11 fl oz for 30 gr of protein). I'll have creamed Tomato, or butternut squash soup....sf pudding, and maybe a sf Popsicle too. Since I am so used to snacking at night (this will be hard to break LOL) I found a yummy bariatric protein hot chocolate which is 15 grams. So, I sip that at night and it helps Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No Protein or Vitamins. From here I go to 2 months of full liquids & only 5 days out & umm I'm so OVER broth. And I'm like am I hungry? Bc I sure do feel like it.

bettyb71 38 Posted June 17, 2013 I find it very interesting that different docs give different diets. I wonder why u aren't allowed and shakes after the surgery? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ladylaura 77 Posted June 17, 2013 I was just wondering the same thing? That's the first I heard someone being on clear liquids for so long and so long for full liquids? Do you have other health issues also maybe? I would think your body would need the Protein right now to heal...but, I'm not a doctor, so what do I know LOL Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
