HI all I am new to this so bear with me. I had my surgery on the 24th June and I am doing well, I am afraid to start eating any foods besides drinking the Protein Shakes in order to get the high amount of Protein needed after surgery. Is there any protein that you can add to Water so that I could get my protein in with my water intake.

There is Unjury unflavored Protein Powder, but they suggest you add it to crystal light not water. Crystal light should count as your water intake though

Well about fed up with this stricture. It has closed off yet again, so they admitted me to the hospital today. Tomorrow they're going to try and put a stent in my esophagus to hold it open. I'm hoping this is the answer. Happy 4th of July everyone!

I hope you get to feeling better soon!

Still very nauseated but I'm not allowed any fluids at all. Not getting my EGD until 1pm central time. I'm just hoping it's not too painful if I get the stent

I had my bypass on June 24. I was cleared today for puréed foods which thrills me. I'm brand new to this site so any guidance is welcome. Hope you all are doing well.

I had a rougher day than normal today, I think I over did myself yesterday with all the festivities, been feeling weak and tired and dizzy today, had a few hours of crying and wth was I thinking but thankfully that seemed to have passed. My drain tube thing they gave me is driving me crazy it doesn't hurt its just irritating.

highest weight: 380<br />date of surgery weight: 376<br />current weight 366

Just spent the last two days in the Hospital BC my husband had an accident with a handgun misfiring and shot himself in the leg shattering his tibia... I think I was pushing myself a little harder than I should have been before this happened and now I am trying to take care of me and now him as well.

I am so emotional and exhausted right now I have cried and cried. I had all my surgery planned out and this happens and I just don't feel strong enough. Ugh. Sorry to vent. I am just having a huge pity party right here....

I am thankful though that all he has is a hole in his leg and a broken bone. The situation could have been SO SO much worse... And I am thankful and terrified he came home today. I can sleep in my own bed and not that awful hospital pullout...

      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.
