MyHeartOnMySleeve 15 Posted July 22, 2014 im 1 week post op and on day 22 of my liquid phase. I dont have many words other that I cant handle the Protein Shake flavor. I have been living off of plain Water for three days. Every step I take i feel like I am going to faint. My surgeons advice was:"be tough, it will get better" I feel just like in a regular diet type of agony only that my body cant take binging anymore. Im hurting so bad emotionally. I dont think I can take another OliveGarden commercial. 2 more weeks before yogurt.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kup 0 Posted July 22, 2014 MMMM MMMmm having an shake right now. Yeah they're a bit tiresome at best. if hating a dirt flavoured milk shake is as hard as it gets I can put up with that for a couple more weeks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FairySleeve 297 Posted July 22, 2014 Cheer up! It will pass. I just started my 3rd week out. The past 2 weeks I went to bed as early as I could so I'd reach the new day faster. Sounds silly but it really helped. It gets better every single day. Courage!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

HappygoSusan 296 Posted July 30, 2014 Hang in there. I felt like I didn't take in any nutrition for the first six weeks. Couldn't stomach Protein Shakes, yogurt was gross, eggs were too. I lived off of Water, and it had to be ice cold or it bothered my stomach. I became obsessed with lemon and just sucked the juice out if it. At 6 weeks follow up , I was given the go ahead to introduce solid Protein and I was in heaven. As long as you are getting enough water, you will survive. I hated life, was tired all the time, but I made it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
