My scale today says 315

Haven't has an easy time of it. Was readmitted to hospital 9 days post OP for nausea heartburn and vomiting. At er realized i was also dehydrated. Spent two nights and over half that time on strictly iv fluids and ice chips. Been home 5 days now and if i can't get past drinking Water. I do eat two sf puddings a day to take my yummy crushed needs, but aside from that i am strictly sipping water and can't seem to get more than 24oz a day. And don't even mention anything Protein at the moment. Just the thought gives nee the slimeys.

I am 10 days post op and I can't get my Protein in at all.....I'm still on clears so I have to do the shakes and I've tried 5 different kinds/flavors with different ways and they make me sooooo sick..

I had the same issue, I couldnt take anything w/ whey. I was doing French vanilla Slim Fast w/ Silk Almond milk..but it wasnt enough Protein content.

The nurse was calling & I got stressed, so I found "EAS" Soy Protein powder @walmart. Its vanilla but I can use my almond milk. Its 20g/8 oz serv.

& Kellogg's Protein Bars (10g/ bar) #works for me

I was sleeved on 8/23. I find that I can eat anything I try. I had some Totinos pizza rolls last night and today. I have even been eating Bit of Honey candy. I try ti stick to puree, but I seem to be doing OK on soft foods, so I try to alternate them. I do think I am hungry, and have something every 2 hours. It is really hard for me to get in my liquids, but if I have a popsicle or shaved ice sno cone, it really helps. For Protein, I have been using New Whey Protein Shots. I get mine at Walmart. These are 3.5 oz and have 42 g of protien. They are much better to me than any shakes. They taste like really strong, thick Kool Aid drink mix. I also like the Slim Fast High Protein chocolate, but that is 10 oz for 20 g protien. I think now I am in the 3rd week stall!

6/1/13- 268lbs

9/11/13-237

      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.
