1gorgeousgodzilla 192 Posted August 22, 2013 First day post op and I can not tolerate ice chips....are these things making anyone else nauseous? I'm 4 days post op and ice chips were the worst!! I didnt think i would get any liquids in fooling with the ice chips. Small sips of room temp Water helped immensely. Best of luck to ya! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Warm things -- broth, Soup -- or room temp things are a must. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michbrecc 31 Posted August 22, 2013 I was sleeved 8/6 and try to eat regular food per my doc, and after 2 oz of Protein my head hurts and face gets hot, and chest gas pain, so odd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mummytolewis 21 Posted August 22, 2013 Re: Protein. Has anyone tried skimmed milk? My surgeon's nurse practitioner said its good for getting protein in. I have a latte for Breakfast daily and add milk powder to my Soups. It's working for me... So glad you told me about the powdered milk, its so easy to add to soups and potato and carrot mash, just made it taste creamy, I have about 3 coffees made with milk aday :-D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
