Stomach so confused - 5 days postop

[Alfie 58]

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.
