June Post Ops!

I can now see how some people become anorexic after this surgery

I just said the same thing to my husband. I also read a thread about it on the post op forums.

I have had 2 calories today and 7 yesterday because of my stricture. I just can't see how anything will ever sound good or fit in my stomach. ... and I just don't care to eat right now... my stomach feels so sick

I am so sorry. I hope that eventually we all get the hang of this eating. Perhaps in a year we will all say it wasn't so bad.

Mel try scrambled eggs but don't overcook them -I just nuke them for a minute in the microwave and they're usually done - and then mash in a Laughing Cow wedge. Keeps them really moist and soft!!!

Turkey pepperoni with some cheese is a good snack or has been for me. As has string cheese. I found these frozen turkey meatballs that are 1oz each and cook up in the microwave - can only eat 1 but pretty tasty with some spaghetti sauce and a slice of provolone cheese.

I will try those things tomorrow. I like the idea of the meatball, especially. Maybe I am cooking the egg too long. I will attempt it with the laughing cow cheese in the morning. Thanks for the ideas.

I can't stand over cooked or rubbery eggs. I've had much better luck just scrambling them with a little Water and popping them in the microwave. I also like ketchup on eggs (I'm a weirdo) and that is a good trick for keeping them moist too. And hard boiled eggs have been good to me, I just eat those with some salt and pepper. As for the meatballs they're made by Perdue I believe and come in bags of 16. They have plain and Italian seasoned - I like the Italian ones with sauce and cheese. Just be careful not to over nuke them they dry out easily.

I have been staying positive. ... I figure this is just one tiny portion of my entire life.... it's not forever

My mom keeps trying to tell me this. My journey has been hell on earth so far. She promises me a few months in the grand scheme of life will be worth it.

I am with all of you! Getting enough Protein seems impossible. I tried today to really get my minimum of 70g and I felt full and sick all day. I feel like to get enough Protein I have to constantly eat something or drink a shake and that makes me feel awful! And these shakes are really starting to bother me. Tomorrow I am going to do some experimenting to find a decent shake combo.

P.S I didn't make it to my minimum! Ugh!!!

You are not alone I had my gastric bypass 6/11/13 and I am having a real hard time getting my liquid in and I am very picky about what I want to eat.

Me too, I seem to be so picky, but most days I get my liquids in.

Speaking of eggs, I scramble mines in a non stick skillet, add some 1% milk, cheese, shaved smoke turkey, like an omelet, scrambled soft, yummy!! I've been kind of lucky to be able to gain my Protein through good, soft foods like catfish, crab meat, tuna....and then a shake.< /p>

4 weeks out today and I have hit my first stall .... Not a fun feeling at all!

Im so sorry about the troubles people are having. I feel very blessed that for me, so far, recovery has been good. I have lost 42 lbs, 28 of those before surgery and I am almost 2 weeks post op.

Here's my fav Protein drink: 1 scoop Unjury chocolate (20 g prot), 1 cup unsweetened soy milk (7gr), 2 T PB2 powder (5g prot), 4 oz H2O, a squirt of vanilla sugar free Syrup and a squirt of chocolate sug free syrup. Over ice, just like a Reese's and not too sweet.

I try to have 2 of those, sometimes w/ just Water b/ c if its too thick it's blech to me.

Big hugs to all the losers!
