I had a few questions. I am one-week post op tomorrow! I had a really rough first couple days, I had a blood clot in my hand and was allergic to all the pain medications. But now I am doing pretty well, I am home after 5 days in the hospital and two nights at a friends house, I have pretty good mobility and have finally gotten a good nights sleep! I did have some questions if any Gastric bypassers can help.

First of all, I would love some stage two liquid diet recipes, i got one more week and hate my Protein Shakes.

I am having a little hard time getting my Protein in. I know it's only week one, any suggestions? I think I might meet my goal today, I am trying very hard.

Also i am having a stretching pain on the right side of my belly button, I don't have an incision there, but that is where most my pain is. Just like a sharp kind of stretching pain. ANd a less sharp pain on the left side of my belly button. Is this normal? I just want to make sure I didn't give myself a hernia, trying to move somewhere or stand up.

I would appreciate all your help! I live alone with no family near by and I really appreciate this support system I am starting to build <3

A week post op, I was just getting off clears so my team told me not to worry about protien the first week. I was allowed soft foods starting week 2 but with food only, usually 2 oz at a time, here was no way I was going to get my protien without shakes. So I had 3 meals and 1-3 shakes per day.

Inspire protien shakes are amazing. They are not thick and milky like other brands. Bariatric Eating on the web is where you can find them. So many flavors. Pomegranate is good, vanilla pineapple, etc. you can also get unflavored protien powder to put in Soup or whatever.

I don't have any recipes for you because I was allowed a lot of soft foods and meat (tuna, lunch meat, fish) that second week.

Now protien and hydration and Vitamins are crucial. Find a way to get the protien. Shakes are the only way I can.

I had my RNY on 6/26/17.

      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...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        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.
