7 Days Post-op ... What To Expect Now?

By NewLifeToday

· 424 views

Well, I'm officially one week post op...I'm so sore, I feel like I've been kicked by a mule. I guess being 49 doesn't help either. I'm now trying soft/puree foods along with applesauce etc. . I'm finding it hard to get enough protein in my daily diet. Yes, I'm drinking protein shakes. I really don't care for "Whey" powder mix. Any suggestions at this point?

    Have you tried Matrix? I love it all the flavors have been very good and can be mixed with water or milk. It can be found at The Vitamin Shoppe and they offer free shipping or you can also find it at mybariatricpantry.com. It does not have an after taste either.....good luck

    Being 49 is great! (thats where I am) you will do great. I used EAS protein drinks and would heat up the chocolate one like coco. It will not be long and you will be eating and able to get all your protein in. Good luck
