The Greener Grass..

The first week I drank Crystal Lite mixed very weak, I bought protein chicken soup broths from my Dr's office, I would strain out the noodles and little veggies and just have the broth. Two weeks after surgery I was still having this - but added protein shakes - I tried a few different ones, but found I was a bit lactose intolerant the month post vsg (this has now passed and I can drink regular milk with no distress) we get the Premier protein shakes from Costco, I tried to get as much in as possible but it took a while until I could finish one.

At 3 weeks my diet was advanced to soft foods - first thing I tried was a one egg omelette - I managed about 1/3 before I was done, now at about 2.5 months out I can eat a whole egg if I take my time - my surgeon used the larger bougies, he used a 40 on my husband and myself, we still have terrific restriction.

I would focus on hydration right now and try your best with protein, you will get more in as you heal
