amislynis 0 Posted March 30, 2014 Hi all! New to group!! I had my surgery on March 17! I'm having a really hard time mentally. It's like as soon as I start eating I'm full and I want to keep eating. I have a family and I have to smell the things their cooking so that is hard too. Wednesday I get to start eatting some real food (meats, lunch meats, veggies) so I am hoping this helps some. I am so tired of the Protein Shakes as I read from a lot of other members. I use Unjury and ever since surgery it just seems so sweet to me, anyone else have this problem?? But good news is it's been 12 days and I'm down 20lbs! It doesn't feel like it to me yet still sore but trying take it one day at a time!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dolfinldy1 69 Posted April 1, 2014 For anyone who is sick of Protein Shakes my doctor gave me a list of low cal high Protein shakes you can make yourself, they are easy and good and not super expensive, and they are not so sickening sweet as store bought! I'll be happy to share if you email me your email address. Mine is nebrfan19@hotmail.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jary 6 Posted April 1, 2014 I will be a mth post op on thurs. And still can not eat nothing soft. I have tried scrabbled eggs with mozza cheese and i came back up. im running out of ideas. Hello sorry to hear that I've heard a few ppl go thur this maybe you should try some mash potatoes really mash mix it with some low fat ricotta or whatever you think will make it super soft .... Also Try the chili from Wendy's super high in Protein and it's yummy. And maybe to prevent anything from coming up don't drink 30 mins before eating and 30 mins after Eating , oh yeah and last thing like an hour or two take an omeprazole too avoid any acid and if that doesn't work call your surgeon , don't want to dehydrate your self !!! Hope all works out Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
