Hey July Sleevers - anyone else REALLLLLY tired of clears and ready to move into fulls?

My surgery was July 6. I'm doing okay - ups and downs. Going a little crazy with trying to get in my Protein and liquid. I miss food!

What's up with you guys? Kaus and Want2Be - we were all the same week - so I'm wondering how you two are?

I'm 6 days post op and dying here. I cant wait to advance to full liquids. Maybe then I will get in more than 5-10 g Protein. Having an impossible time getting even close to the nutritional requirements this week. Good weight loss though. I'm supposed to go back to work tomorrow but I think it's too soon. I'll decide later today.

When I was on liquids only, I gave up trying to get in the recommended Protein. I wasn't able to even come close until I moved to mushies.

Forget about getting in the 60-70 gms. of protein - I am on mushies and still can't get in all of my protein, although it is easier than it was on clears and fulls. Bearded doesn't seem to be having any trouble getting in his protein though - he can tolerate the Protein Drinks, where I can't. He also doesn't have any trouble swallowing either - which makes it easier!

lucky for bearded! Tonight I feel a lot better. I have taken some veggie Soup and strained it. Just had the broth from that. Cheating a little? Not sure, but it sure helped get some nutritional in me besides water!

No that's not cheating - the broth would be considered a clear liquid. You can add in SF Jello-O tomorrow.

Thank goodness I had no trouble tolerating the Liquid Protein drinks. I really liked them and that made recovery so much easier.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
