2 weeks and 4 days PO



Recommended Posts

I am 2 weeks and 4 days post op. I started back to work this week and I already feel "off track." How much should I be able to drink at this point? I am probably getting about 30 oz. of liquid and about 30-40 g of Protein. I am not hungry and most of the time when I do eat, I feel bad. I struggle with eating slow enough. Nothing really tastes good. I will call the NUT next week for a refresher, but wanted to see if I could get some input from some who have been here/done this!! OH and I have not lost in almost a week - but I have read a lot of other posts regarding this. I lost 21 pounds at my 2 week post op dr visit.

Thanks in advance...

I am at 3 weeks four days, so right with you. I constantly try to drink Water and once off of the Protein shakes have gotten more energy. I luckily enjoy the flavor of food, just don't care if I eat or not. I eat three small meals a day and sip Water in between. My cheat is a little blue bell ice cream at night. I hope your taste for food comes back. My biggest issue was previous to surgery I constantly drank only one type of Protein shake cause I liked it a lot. Kellogg brand. After surgery could not STAND IT. Had a panic oh shoot moment trying to find something I could tolerate. Became lactose intolerant. Good luck, hopefully something time will fix.

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
