This is a two part question. I was sleeved on 12/12 so 4 days ago. I am doing well just some pain for the incision. I have not had much gas!

I hate taking small sips but I get over it!????

1. What is your favorite kind of Soup. I can have creamed Soups but I just don't know where to start with creamed soups.

2. I woke up this morning and I am very shaky. It has not gone away. I can hold my hand out and I just shake. I have had 40 grams of Protein so far today. What could it be from??

I liked Cambells Bean & Bacon, Cream of chicken, and Cream of Mushroom.

I have no idea on the shaking.... Does your blood sugar ever drop a little low?

How are doing in getting in your fluids? I would suggest you give your surgeon or PCP a call about the shaking.

I know a lot of people ate regular Soups, but I liked the ProtiDiet soups because they have a lot of Protein. I like the cream chicken and Tomato basil.

I have gotten about 25 oz of Water in today. The other the days I haven't gotten much in. I am trying to drink whenever I can. I just constantly take tiny sips.

My first guess is that you are dehydrated. Try crushed ice and sugar free Popsicles. Keep sipping but you got to get more Fluid. Talk to your surgeon, you may need pedialyte.

I will try to drink more Water. And if I feel shaky in the morning I will call the doctor.

I was sleeved on 12/7. I have pureed a bunch of Soups in my mini food processor. So far I have tried homemade butternut squash and split pea soups; canned - bean and bacon, cream of chicken, creamy chicken enchilada (by Progresso). I have cans of chicken pot pie, classic Tomato, and broccoli and cheese Soup still in the pantry. Lobster or seafood bisque would work too. You can really puree just about any soup you like especially if you mix in some unflavored Protein powder (make sure it can be used in hot foods - I like the Muslegen Pro - 30g of Protein in 1 Tbsp). I would just avoid anything with noodles, rice, grains, etc. Or you could pick out the noodles/strain.

Go buy yourself a large YETI cup.

Fill that bad boy about 1/4 full of ice.....top it off with Water.

Take it everywhere with you and sip your back out all day.

It'll hold 30oz of Water and you'll be able to measure your progress very easy. I get 3 of them down every day....minimum.....more if drink coffee.

The shaking you are talking about was something that I did experience after a week or two post-op. I was feeling weak and rundown......no freaking energy.......almost passed out in Best Buy bending over to get something off the lower shelf.....left immediately.......then went back the next day to buy it.......felt puny then, too.

Went and saw my primary doctor to get things figured out.

Had a great laugh with the nurse who took me back from the waiting room......she took down the reading on the scale....wrote it on my chart and then gave me the elevator look.....head to toe....toe to head....."Hmmmmnnnn.....whatcha trying to do up in here ????? You gonna go get all skinny on me ??????". It'd been three months since I'd been in there and my weight was way lower.

She then took my blood pressure and the laughing stopped. It was crazy low....and I always ran high blood pressure. The weight loss and my daily meds had driven it way low.

Doctor corrected the med dosage......essentially cutting it all in half.

The tremors and shaking were also attributed to low blood sugar as I was doing Atkins pre-op until the 2-week Protein shake diet.....surgery......4 weeks of Protein shakes.

All the weakness, shakiness, etc.....all that went away over the next week and I really started feeling great.

      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.
