Stomach so confused - 5 days postop



Recommended Posts

I'm 7 days post op and I am SO over this liquid diet! I could stand the shakes my nutritionist told me to drink, so I did some research and found some that aren't too bad! Isopure shakes are sugar free, 40 grams of Protein in one 20oz bottle! They make this liquid diet a little more bearable.

I haven't even had my first consultation (which will be October 1) and I already bought 3 cases online of Isopure so I'm happy to hear you say this :)

I am 9 days out and pretty much living on Jello, creme/broth Soups, thinned pudding, and thinned yogurt/kefir. Am finding the Protein shakes give me terrible gas, so I am sneaking a couple of tablespoons of unflavored Isopure Protein Powder into as much as I can and it seems to be sitting okay. Herbal teas seem to be sitting well. My stomach feels different when it is thirsty from when it is hungry - and my middle ear feels different when I am thirsty (weird). Not experiencing a lot of head hunger, but since my husband had the sleeve 3 years ago he is being really good about not making foods that would trigger issues while I am recovering from my surgery. Eating/drinking as such frequent intervals is a big shift, but I think that will phase back once I am actually getting some nutrition out of what I am eating.

Sounds like you are learning what works for you. I am doing the same. I am preparing some pureed meals and I am enjoying it. It's crazy because I have already started going back to work. My pureed food is really good, but I only warm it up when no one is around. I think I would die if someone looked over my shoulder thinking they would see some food and see something that looks like it was prepared for a baby. Lol! Yeah I am keeping my journey on the low. I am looking for a new job anyways, so I would rather keep my business to myself.

      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?

      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.
