I had my Gastric Bypass surgery on January 15, 2014, and I had a lot of bumps to deal with, first, because I had a Lapband in April 15, 2013, and then had it removed in December 2013, due to complications, so then jumped to Gastric Bypass because of Lapband I had scare tissue which made any kind of liquid drinking very difficult so then I was back in the hospital for another surgery to remove scare tissue. There several trips that landed me in the hospital and I had to stay there for five to six days for dehydration and not eating as well, but now knock on wood I am doing a lot better just that no matter how I mix the Protein Drink with or milk I can't get it down it just makes me sick to my stomach any suggestions on how I can drink 60 grams of Protein a day, thanks in advance:)

If you cant keep Protein Shakes down, is it possible you're drinking too fast? I drink a 1oz shot glass every 15 minutes or so and even that feels too fast sometimes. Also make sure your shake is fewer than 6 grams of sugar per serving. Other ways you can drink your Protein is to blend dannon light n fit GREEK yogurt with Water. Or, GNC makes a fruity Protein Drink called Isopure. I'm in no way an expert but when I read you cant keep anything down, I felt sad for you. I really hope you can find a solution.

      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.
