    Calories liquid stage

    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.

    Ulcer?

    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.

    Food help!

    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.
  4. 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??
  5. How many times a day do you take vitamins?

    No weight loss since surgery!

    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.

  9. 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.

    C diff infection post surgery

    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 ❤️

    Puréed foods

    Thanks!

    Puréed foods

    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?

    Nausea...does it ever go away?

    Thank you so much!
  14. 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.
