Post op day 4-Gastric Sleeve on 12/19/2017

Doing ok. It’s just a struggle trying to get in the Protein and Water. I literally have 2 spoons of liquid, Soup, or shake and I am full. I’m sure I’m not getting in what I am suppose to. Is there another way to get my protein in? I hate the taste of the Protein Powder and I have tried them all. I hate the Proteinex shot but I’m beginning to feel like that is the only other option. Please help.

I was sleeved on 12/20.. having the same fight as you. I'm focusing on keeping my liquids up to prevent dehydration and working on Protein when I can. I tried some oikos triple zero greek yoghurt diluted with skim milk today..that was pretty good but I couldn't eat much of it.

Have you tried Unjury high Protein chicken Soup? Fairlife Milk is another non sweet, high protein option that may be worth trying. You can buy the Fairlife milk in most grocery stores. There is also the option to get unflavored Protein Powder and add it to other foods. Hang in there and good luck!

No I haven’t tried either. I will pick those up tomorrow.

I have not yet had surgery but, I have done a boat load of reading. These are things that I see working for others post op that are not able to tolerate the shakes anymore.

BariatricPal Store does a mixed pack of Soups, 15g Protein each. I find these a real easy way to get my protein in.

It gets easier, most people aren't hitting Protein goals until 1.5-2 weeks out. I've been using Premier Protein shakes, it takes a while to drink them though (several hours). Is your issue taste or thickness? I had to dilute mine the first week. Some people get an adversion to Protein Shakes after, if you do call your dietician for ideas, they see it a lot
