We had he same surgery date! Definitely try the unsweetened Protein or unjury Protein. Those are much better than the Special K because they have more protein. 20 grams per serving. Have u tried eggs? tuna? There is a broth from Unjury that has a chicken flavor and it has protein as well.

No I haven't tried it but def will now... It's hard eating when your never hungry either... Good thing my surgery I was like 245 now I'm 211... But I don't want to end up in hospital because not eating enough you know

Only thing I'm doing to get Protein is protein Water by Special K you mix it with water only 5 but I drink a lot so it helps and the pink lemonade is awesome

I had surgery may 20... I just can't seem to eat enough I can't even eat my Protein amount. I'm never hungry when I do eat it not very much fruit and stuff like that make me sick Pasta no good which is probably a good thing. But I can't seem to stomach a lot Protein Shakes I can't stomach them tried Protein Bars are way to sweet as well... I tried beef jersey and peanuts cause protein I just don't know what to do its stressing me out like after 3 bites if anything I'm done please help

My doc said as soon a I feel up to it after two weeks.

Is that to sex question

My dr didnt tell me that i couldnt but i didnt feel up to it for a few weeks lol

Just a random question

I know this is weird but how soon after surgery can you have sex?

They didn't tell me how I got it. I just assumed it had something to do with the surgery ... I don't know how else I would have gotten it. Hoping I don't need another hospital stay

I am 1 week out an I am still on all liquid diet. I never feel full though even with eating Jello. Is that normal since its all just liquid?

I'm with you had my surgery a week ago today my mom did too but she can eat one bite of Jello or pudding or yogurt is fine I take my time eating but can still eat whole container being around people with meat is killing me I want some poultry I'm doing what I can and trying to stay busy and walking and just keep thinking to myself all be worth it in the end

Ok thank you everyone I will be in Water wouldn't be till after 10 of june

Has anyone done physical activity after 3 weeks of surgery? Cause my surgery was 20 of may but my work really needs me on 10 of June for preschool swim instructor not a lot of physical activity just helping them get out of pool occasionally?? So does anyone know or have?

I hear you. I felt pretty pathetic' date=' too. It is going to get better real soon! I am about 16 days out and can't believe I was so weak such a short time ago. My stomach is still very sore, and I haven't quite gotten the rhythm of eating, snacking, sipping, etc. but I feel pretty normal otherwise. You've just had major surgery! Hang in there, and be kind to yourself.[/quote']

I sure hope so, I know it will get better but not being able to do anything sucks but I've been doing some things. Yea I'm afraid that is going to be the hardest part.. I hope the soar ness gets easier faster sleeping is the hardest

There's two may surgery posts so I'm not sure which one to post in:

Had my surgery may 19th. Just now starting to feel okay' date=' all the stomach feelings are bothering me and at times I can't believe what I did to myself. I hope ill change my mind here in a few months.[/quote']

I understand that.. Had mine may 20th feeling better was able to sleep on side but had to take pain meds twice at night still doing the binder I been in such pain.. I know the worst is over a week from today will feel so much better but just taking a day at a time is hard

Soon as I got home I was getting stuff picked up around he house' date=' and that helped it work its way out. It was real, no-kidding-around pain up until then! I hope you start/continue feeling better soon![/quote']

Thank you I know it will get easier I have alot of family there taking care of my son and house laundry dishes exc so I haven't really had to do anything tonight my brother drove me to school first time since before surgery I stayed for little over two hours then left told me I didn't have to stay whole time I brought my pillow and Water that helped alot I sure hope gets easier and only passed gas once so I'm ready for round two I know it's needed lol going for a long walk with my mom tomorrow still have binder on I can't do it without yet mom took hers off we are so different :/ I feel pathetic

I did all those things and the hot showers helped a lot! Hope you feel better soon.

I finally pooted once lol

I feel your pain.. I was not as miserable as you mention but did have a hard time with the back pain' date=' burping felt like having knives dug into my shoulders. I used the heating pad on my back and that helped A LOT!!! When using it on my tummy it only made matters worse!!! Seems like you are doing the right thing with walking as much as you can. Another thing that reaaaally helped me was having someone rub my back, hopefully you get many volunteers for that, <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/tongue.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

I finally passed gas

I am so so sorry. Gas pain is the absolute worst. Pain medication doesn't even help. I tried every thing I could think of. My mom rubbed my chest and back' date=' I laid on the bed with my butt up in the air (gravity, right!?). Gas-x strips don't help the gas pain from the gas they use during the surgery.

None of this is helping I'm sure... They absolutely only thing that can and will help.... Is walking. I hated hearing that but it ended up being true.

I am so sorry, I wish I had a suggestion better than that. I know when I finally did pass gas I know I have never been so happy to fart in my entire life! <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='' />[/quote']

I finally passed gas and I am so relieved :-)

Never mind I finally did it yay!!! Sorry but I was in alot of pain and mom did it yesterday

Sorry had surgery on Monday

I had my surgery was released yesterday still haven't passed gas and am hurting so bad any suggestions?? I've tried heating pad walking and gas x strips?

I had my surgery may 20, 2013 same day as my mom. My surgery was first they released us yesterday but I haven't passed any gas, my mom passed been passing gas since yesterday. I keep having these gas pains I have tried heating pad and gas x strips I'm in a lot of pain. Between pain from surgery I'm cramping from my menstural(sp) cycle and gas pains. I'm miserable, I'm walking as much as I can I'm sleeping when I'm not walking or spending time with my son how can I make this gas pain just pass please help!!
