There are many sources of Protein that are cheap, healthy and quick to prepare:
1. eggs ($0.53 per dozen at Aldi); you can scramble them, hard-boil them, fry them, top them with melted cheese, or salsa, or Tabasco sauce, or salt & pepper, or fresh veggies such as sauteed bell peppers and chopped tomatoes, or other protein sources such as chopped ham.
2. Tilapia ($5.49 per 32-ounce bag at Aldi); one fillet has 100 calories and 20 grams of protein. Look up recipes for blackened Tilapia. Serve this fish with steamed veggies for a filling meal.
3. Cottage cheese ($1.99 per 24-ounce tub at Aldi); 4 ounces of low-fat cottage cheese has 80 calories and 12 grams of protein. Serve it with a baked apple topped with cinnamon or a fresh fruit of your choice.
4. chicken leg quarters ($6.80 per 10-pound bag at Walmart); divide the leg quarters by cutting them into their separate thigh and drumstick components. Each bag will generate about 25 to 30 pieces of chicken leg meat. Use quart-sized freezer bags to store them in the freezer until you are ready to thaw them for cooking.
Each thigh has about 14 grams of protein and the drumsticks have 12 grams of protein. Look up recipes such as "rosemary garlic chicken," "lemon pepper chicken," "Mexican chicken bake," and "ranch chicken" for starters.

If it still hurts when you eat. Go back liquid diet then slowly try the other softer foods. Like cheese eggs cottage cheese ect smaller bites hopeful that will help you out

No there was fuzz on it o let sit in full glass of ice of over a hour then slowly sipped on it I only had maybe a fourth of of it. No beer for me never much of beer drinker . Anne it was gas tried stuff for it today still not helping ..

It been over a year since my surgery. I was told I can have alcohol, so I tried a wine cooler last night. it cause real bad stomach pains. Still dealing with pains today. So I was wondering anyone else have problems with it ?
I don't even want to try again at all.

I had my surgery in june. I had the sleeve With a hiatal hernia done. For me it took alittle over over two weeks before I stopped feeling go through where the repair (hiatal hernia) was fixed. What I did was take smaller sips. And wait in between liquids before I took my next sip. That feeling will go way it just takes some time. Hang in there
Hope that helps out

Remember that a dream is just a dream that sometimes reflects our inner fears. They don't come true. Also depression can cause dreams that are moribund. I am sorry you cannot use the SSRIs, but exercise is a potent antidepressant. It gets the good hormones going.
I experience depression and it is no fun and everything feels like a big deal to do. Hang in and it will remit.

Don't worry we are all in the same boat. I am 4.5 months out and I still struggle with food. I don't eat bread, Pasta, rice or potato. I tried them early on and didn't like it and it feels very weird. So I have stopped eating all of it completely. I don't miss it at all. Fruits I don't eat much. Might have half a banana in my shake but that's like maybe once a week. I had some cherries and blueberries but I don't eat much of it cause of the sugars.
I do have ground meats like chicken, turkey or beef. tuna I had early on but didn't like it too much. I will have sashimi no rice time to time. I eat a lot of Greek yogurt, Beans, Protein shakes, cheese, just started to have spinach and that also doesn't always work and I have egg beaters. I can't get regular eggs down and chicken has to be moist or I can't eat it. I also don't drink milk. Have soy milk sometimes. Best to stick with what works for you. Cause it's different for everyone.

Done

I had hernia repair. I also deal wirh spasming. I try drinking real slow. And eat smaller bites. That smeems to help.
