Calories and protein at almost 3 weeks

angelb429 · May 31, 2016

I am 19 days post op. Having a hard time getting in calories and Protein. I am barely making 300 calories daily. Protein shakes make me EXTREMELY nauseas, and I've tried many brands. I can tolerate yogurt, cottage cheese, broths. .and Water.. doc is on vacation but I see him on Fri.

How and what is anyone else eating at this point?

What stage are you on? Get some Protein powder or Isopure Protein drinks - that may be more tolerable. Can you have eggs or Beans yet? How about tuna?

According to my diet I can ha e all of those but eggs and fish seemed to sit like a golf ball then came back up I have the Isopure clear drinks but they are making me sick as well! Im.not sure if it's all in my head or what. ...but for the last several days all the Protein drinks and shakes make me nauseas....

I'm also worried that not eating enough calories will slow my weight loss :/

Try adding yogurt or cottage cheese to the Protein shake... Maybe in the blender with ice and cinnamon... I find the shake taste best when I use the blender....

I would keep trying different things. You could make your own Protein shakes. Creamed Soups, hummus, refried Beans with cheese & sour cream, ricotta bake. I was told to eat 5-6 small meals with 3 hours in between.
