Feeling Sluggish When "eating".

[nonfat22 1]

Hi again. Also I feel like I'm having a decent recovery., I'm still on full liquids. The only thing is that when I drink a Protein Shake I feel like a slug and pretty uncomfortable and can't really do much the entire time I'm drinking it. And that's hard for me because I have 2 small childen I want/have to be doing things for. I'm warn out energy wise pretty quickly and it makes me angry and moody. Will this go away? I dont want to feel uncomfortable everytime I eat for the rest of my life!!!???

Mine has improved for the most part. I still wear down faster then I used to But I think it's still me trying to get the Proteins and Water in like I am supposed to. I can't drink my Proteins yet and I'm 6 weeks out. They make me ill, I had no problems with them before surgery but after... I would feel pukey, get an upset stomach, and get tired as well as I drank them (maybe more depressed because I felt ill). My surgeon told me not too worry too much about the proteins at this point more about the hydration that the proteins will come.

What I did to get some of the proteins in and tolerated it alot better.. was make hot Soup via broth or cream of whatever (pureed, and doctors idea) and added like half a scoop of unflavored Protein to like 3-4 oz of that. I took about 20 minutes to eat it. Good luck to you!
