Can you tolerate regular broth soup? My RD said to put your protein (unflavored) in a bag and sprinkle it on everything through the day. Once your baggie is empty you have reached your protein goal for the day. The Rds and drs are in conflict as well at my office. The rds said to only get up to 32 g of protein where as the doc wants more like 40-60. They said that’s to much to tolerate so if you were with my practice You are on track. Heck I can only stomach 16g which sucks but I can’t stand protein anymore. Good luck and let us know what you come up with.

I had the same but it is just the normal healing process. I did use the pre op soap hibaclens a few times but it looks like everything is healing nice. I am still itchy 23 days out so you’re fine. Don’t worry.

So I was wondering when does all the nausea and the muscle pain go away? I am 23 days post op still struggling to get the right amount of protein and water. My surgeon told me he made my pouch 2 oz I wonder if that has anything to do with my low tolerance of food.

Thank you for the info. Yes the anti acid pills are a God send.

Thanks for the encouragement. I went to get some chopped spinach and berries to blend in to my smoothies for a switch up. I’ve been watching Dr. Wiener on YouTube that mentioned that it’s important to start going to the more natural smoothies. Check it out

I am one week post op and starving with the worst acid reflux right now. I’m sick of the shakes as I want real food. I tried broth which helped for a second but I believe it caused my acid reflux. Any suggestions? My surgeon wants me on this liquid diet for another month.

This is extremely encouraging. I am set for June 14th for surgery and I am day 2 of liquid diet and I am super weak. But This post makes me want to push through.
