I feel you! I can’t drink any protein. I ended up really sick. I am trying brownie bites which are 10 grams of protein each. My surgeon recommended them to me. Waiting in the mail for them, I’ll let you know how they taste.

Omg I had the same thing. I am on TPN at home, but I’m finally feeling better. The ulcer has to heal. I had nausea and vomiting. They still may need to do reconstructive surgery.

I was in the hospital for 11 days with malnutrition status post RNY 6 weeks ago. I have an ulcer, and a stricture. I have TPN running all night at my home. I can finally start eating things that are soft. Any recommendations? I am so sick of yogurt, eggs and soups. Any good crockpot recipes that people tolerated well? I would appreciate all suggestions! This has not been an easy road for me.

I have had the worst time since surgery. I have had a bowel obstruction, and have been told I have narrowing connected to my stomach. I had the dilitation once via endoscopy, but the top of my abdomen hurts. It feels like I have a brick there. I’m petrified to have surgery again, but I think I will need revision surgery. Anyone else have any of these issues??

How many times a day do you take vitamins?

Omg that sounds great! Did you use a tasteless protein powder? Also what flavor pudding did you use? And lastly what kind of soups did you mix it with?

I had a really hard time with protein. I couldn’t drink the shakes, I threw up. I then switched to liquacel. Now I just can’t tolerate it any longer. I am eating soft foods starting today. Any suggestions on how to count grams of protein? What things did you eat during puréed food phase.

I am 2 weeks out from bypass surgery, and have only lost 6 lbs. I know my water intake is not as good as it should be. Doesn’t this sound weird? I see my surgeon at the end of the week, and she said she expects I will have lost 20 lbs. I have lost 20 lbs since my last weigh in at the office.

Is there a liquid form of antibiotics? I am so sorry you are going through this. This surgery was much harder than I expected! I am day 14 and am finally feeling better. Best of luck to you ❤️

Thanks!

I am 2 weeks post-op, and don’t see my surgeon for another week. I am having a huge aversion to liquacel. I bought cottage cheese, hummus, and chicken salad in bag (which I was told is close to puréed). What should I try first?

Thank you so much!

I am day 12 post-op RNY surgery. It seems most people are feeling better at this point. I was not able to tolerate protein shakes, I ended up with vomiting and diarrhea after trying several. I tolerated fine pre-op. I am using liquacel which is straight protein without any vitamins. This is now making me nauseous. I don’t see my surgeon until next Thursday. I am exhausted. I hate feeling so awful all the time. I think I made a mistake by having surgery. Any advise welcome.
