Hello All, I'm new here and I'm 2 weeks post op from Bypass. I'm in the purée phase and have no desire to eat. I feel full all the time, but in my head I know I'm hungry and need to get in my Protein. A day of eating is I had 2 sips of a Protein shake, maybe 20oz of Water all day and I am not hungry at all and feel if I eat anything I will be sick. Has anyone experienced this ? Feel like bloated all the time. But I move all the time. I feel like a lot of this is mental. In my head I'm mad at my body so I am depriving myself cuz I can't do things my way. I've always been a water lover I still love it but I loved to chug water at a time. Now I can't and I'm mentally mad. Please tell me I'm not the only one dealing with these things?! Does anyone have a tips that worked for them?! Thank you for any advice or input. I know this is going to be a long journey and I have to change my mind set just seeing if there are things that I can make easier

Try freezing Protein Shake & eat with a spoon. It takes longer to eat and for me felt like I was eating . Also I was told do not use a straw to drink. I also used sugar free pop sickles to help with head hunger and to hydrate.

After surgery your body is in a major heal mode so it is common of patients to be unable to reach their Fluid and Protein requirements. But keep working at this each day and eventually you should get there.

The three most important things after surgery is meeting your daily Protein, fluids and Vitamins requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body.

One thing to remember on your daily Fluid requirements is that everything counts.

The Water or milk you drink.

The fluid in the Protein shake.

The Water you drink to swallow your Vitamins.< /p>

The water component of Soups.

Flavored drinks such as crystal light.

Tea and decaffeinated coffee.

Some people find temperature makes a big difference in their tolerance of fluids. Some like it hot while others like it cold.

      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.
