Sleeplessincali

Omg i have stayed the same for 5 days now (two wks post op) and was freaking out after losing 27# then nothing. Thank you for your post!

I have the same issues! I gag now even trying to drink a sm amt of protein shake. I am trying to get my water in, i was bumped up to puree on wed and have started adding real food which is sooo much better. Thin cream of wheat, applesauce, i made a beef stew w no potatoes but zucchini and veggies and blended it w broth which results in 25g of protein per 8oz serving. Plain Greek yogurt w honey to sweeten and cottage cheese. So far have been able to tolerate it all, whey protein seems to not agree w me and the rash i had on my stomach has dissapeared making me think it was the cause. Yuck. I also had tuna w mayo and tolerated it fine, i have to get my protein in somehow as the shakes arent working. Also i was told to take the prevacid for two months. Try laying flat or on your left side to get rid if that air in your abdomen. It has to be absorbed into your tissue to go away and took me zbout 5 days.

Yes I am taking Protein 7 from Nutrishop and I also tried EAS, I even have tried Atkins shake. All lower sugar/carb and high protein. They taste good but both fri and sat i had two shakes in the morning and by one in the aftn i was throwing up and the nausea never went away. What shakes are you drinking? Someone suggested trying a different protein source like rice protein.

I meant to say i was 8 days UNTIL my surgery. Just started liquid diet three days ago.

I dont know if I cant handle that much liquid protein or what but I am only getting down about 400 cal. Today I could only get 10g of my shake down before I was nauseated and it stayed that way the rest of the day.
