Reet

My taste buds changed after surgery; the protein shakes that I loved before surgery, I couldn't stand after. I have tried a lot of them & you will too, until you find the one that fits your taste. I tried & like Gatoraid recover3; the orange/tropical drink and the chocolate milk. They are the only ones I like now. Keep trying different ones, you'll find one you like. Also, when you can eat solids, try Luna bars. I'm 4 months post & Love them!

While sitting up, my husband would tap on my back, starting at the bottom & work his way up. I would burp alot, then would be good for about an hour or so. The only discomfort I had was from the gas & this really helped.

I really don't like most protein shakes. After my surgery, my taste buds changed. The only protein drink I like is, gatorade recover3 orange/tropical. I haven't found a powder I like yet. And I goofed, I had surgery April 9th, not may 9th. I lost 61 lbs, then this week I have gained 2 lbs! I am walking everyday, probably more than I every have. What is up with that?

I had surgery on May 9th; now I'm bored with most foods. No desire to eat the stuff I liked before. I'm down 60 lbs and feeling great. BUT, I can't eat the fruits & veggies that are plentiful right now and I used to love them! It's a little depressing. I have to eat my protein first & can't fit in the other stuff. When will I be able to eat a "normal" meal?

I pray that all will be well with your son. Just think how lucky you are that you already scheduled someone to be with you that week. I went back to work 1 1/2 weeks post surgery; I was tired, but okay. In just a few weeks post surgery, you'll be saying "Thank God I did this" because you'll fell so much better.

I found a shake I like! Gatoraid recovery 3

I finally found a protein drink I like: Gatoraid recovery3 chocolate. 20 gr protein. I tried it yesterday & went out to buy more today! I also found that I like Luna bars. My hair is coming out slowly also & I'm only 2 1/2 months post op.

Best to call your doctor. Tell him what's going on.

I eat 3tbsp part skim ricotta with a sprinkle of organic cinnamon raisin granola. I'm going to look for fat free this weekend. I still struggle with getting enough protein. I don't like the powders and most of the bars. I did find a few things this week that I like. K2O protein powder (from the makers of special K cereal) and Luna bars. Both available at WalMart!

I love seafood, but not liking tuna since the surgery. I don't like chocolate pudding either & that was one of my favorites pre-op. Hamburgers are our also.

My doctor advised me not to drink yet also, but I did it anyway. I'm 2 months post surgery & feeling good. If I want to have a glass of wine with my friends once in awhile, I will. 4oz wine + 4oz ice = Great!

I was sleeved on April 9th and had my first glass of wine in months this past Saturday. I added a lot of ice to water it down & drank it slowly. (probably only had 4oz of wine & 4oz of water) After the first swallow went down I got this very unusual feeling in my stomach. It got very warm & I could feel where the wine was!

I was sleeved on April 9th. It feels like I eat a lot, but I'm only consuming about 600 calories a day. If I eat about 1/4 cup of beans, I'm done. The other day I ate 3/4 of a thin pork chop with a spoonful of beans & a spoonful of applesauce. That was alot!

None. I didn't puree a thing. I ate mashed potatoes, applesauce, peachsauce & drank Carnation instant breakfast shakes.

Thanks for your menus! It really helps!
