Daisee68 2,493 Posted August 20, 2015 OK I remember u r about a week out. I am not a medical professional and honestly I would not normally say go against your NUT but before you tried food this early, I would at least try Protein shake instead - unless there is so me medical reason that your Dr doesn't allow it. The Protein Shake would certainly be a much safer choice than food. And it will help with the hunger. Just take it slow. Make it a good choice (high Protein / low sugar).. Yea they were just worried about calories. Never gave a real reason . Ima look soon The Premier Protein ready made shakes are 160 calories with 30g of protein and only 1g of carb (I think - it might be 4g) and is 11 oz. They are very good - or at the very least tolerable. So, does your NUT work at your dr's office? If not, I think I would call the surgeon's office and ask for the nurse. When do you go back for your first follow up? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

lachellove 486 Posted August 20, 2015 Girl I don't think I could make it without the Protein Shakes however the vanilla shakes (milk based but I mix with water) that I was doing before surgery go right through me so. I've been doing Protein Water from GNC. I get to start having soft foods after Tuesday. Funny because the first thing I'm looking at is refried Beans lol . Hang in there. I had to start a new plan on my bible You Version App today because I really needed a distraction. It was a gloomy day! ❤️I read my plan today to and went for a walk. A great distraction .. But the rumbles are loud lol .. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a black bean soup it came blended .. Greek yogurt which also didn't agree. Waters zero calorie Powerade love those keeps me sane.

Aia8215 2 Posted August 20, 2015 Ah, ladies, if you are not getting enough Protein, like I wasn't, expect for your hair to start falling out. I had some hair flying out, I freaked out and thanks to another lady here found a good solution for me. Went to the health store and picked up two bottles of Isopure. Tried the black tea- real lemony but had worse and I am tired of shakes, so it was nice to drink a liquid. Not the best tea in the world, but with 40 g of protein in 20 oz, I am sold. I also bought the punch flavor, that is for manana =) I am so .... happy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cdominguez 26 Posted August 20, 2015 Well it depends on what your stomach can handle I guess I had surgery a week ago and I can pretty much eat anything in moderation like you I was super hungry I had oatmeal this morning it was pretty good I also blend my oats to thin it out kind of like a shake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted August 21, 2015 http://www.vitacost.com/syntrax-nectar-whey-protein-isolate-powder-Cappuccino If you look around on the site they have a lot of flavors. You might want to look around where you live. I think Vitamin Shoppe has the single serve sample packs, and so do supplement stores, not health food stores. Look for the stores the meat heads go to.
