I hope you'll have your surergy soon Desmond. Best of luck!

I'm 16 days out and breakfast 2oz soft scrambled egg, snack 2oz Greek yoghurt, lunch light tuna salad 2oz, afternoon snack, 2oz pudding with Protein added, dinner 2oz broiled fish if I stay up late I may have a cheese stick. I can't stomach Protein Shakes since the surgery- I'm ok with genpro as it doesn't smell as much to me. I can only do 2oz at a time.

Milk of magnesia works for me-you may need to take 4tbsps to have it kick in. Good luck:(

Fitness pal is an easy to use app and I have been able to use it for my 2oz measure and it tracks nutrients Ike carbs, Protein, fat etc. I measure everything in a 1/4 cup measuring cup.

I'm 17 days out and can only eat 2oz at a time. I bought a bunch of plastic 2oz cups an lids at Walmart to help with Portion Control. If the lid doesn't close its too much. I'm finally starting to feel hungry and have a little more energy. My NUT said that the 64 oz is a goal and it will take time to get there. Good luck and as others have said tiny sips all day.

Glad you are finally feeling better. I'm 12 days post op and I cannot stomach the taste/smell of Protein powder shakes/powder. I only sip 2oz every 15 minutes. I have a Drs appointment tomorrow so hopefully we can figure something out. I have no pain and am walking, going to fairs, shopping- some naps here and there.

Does anyone else have issues with the taste smell of Protein? I have been using a variety of whey isolate ready shakes and Protein Powder but they all have this certain smell I just can't take.

I had my suregery on Oct. 2 and it went well other that the nauzea. I was doing well until a few days ago when I developed a cough from a scratchy throat. It still hurts to cough or sneeze. it's gotta get better right?

I have my first post-op appointment on Wednesday so we'll see what the doc says. I wonder if the coughing is due to acid reflux or something like that...

Hi there,

I had my surgery on Oct. 2 and so far so good. I have lots of bloating and barely fit into my pants despite having lost 20 lbs. I find it hard to get the Protein in. At this point, sipping is a full time job. I really like variety so drinking shakes has been a challenge. I was really hoping i'd like the Isopure drinks but I cannot stomach them.

Trader joe has some really tasty pureed Soups in boxes (I love the Tomato and roasted pepper or butternut squash) and they are the right consistency although low in protein- i just need a little somthing savory once in a while.

I can't wait for soft foods:)
