Do you eat it? Is it okay to eat? Does it impact your pouch?

Can we talk about rice? Have you eaten it post-op? Any issues? Is it okay to eat every once in a while? Any effects to eating it?

If you don't like the milky shakes, try Isopure zero carb. They taste like fruit juice and have forty grams of Protein per bottle, no carbs, no sugar and no fat. I don't care for the thick shakes either, except the Premier Protein cafe latte flavor. It tastes like a starbucks latte but has 30 grams of Protein. I live on those, beef, shrimp, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, cheese and eggs pretty much. Surgery was 12/18 and I am down 80 lbs

Hi. I am wondering if anyone is able to get enough Protein, per day, by food. I am 10 weeks post op and have been on “normal” food for over a month. I absolutely detest Protein Powder, Protein Shakes, Protein Drink and any form or protein supplement. Not only do I detest, but it doesn’t sit well inside my stomach. I try to eat protein throughout the day (eggs, chicken, turkey, Greek yogurt, tuna, some cheeses) but I feel like I am no where near my protein gram goal. Wondering if anyone is hitting their protein goal with actual and food and what you are eating. Thanks.

I was sleeved Monday also

Keep me posted when you get out of surgery. You got this!

I don’t like the texture of milky drinks like shakes and drinks from powder. So I am drinking a Protein juice instead. It’s not chalky and it goes down like a think juice. It’s called Isopure. You can buy them online at Amazon or at a Vitamin shop. We bought one of each flavor before the surgery so I could see which ones I liked. I put them on ice just now and they taste so much better.

So far I have only had gas from burps and hiccups. It hasn’t come from anywhere else yet. I also got lucky because I popped the morning of surgery so I think that helped. I hadn’t been able to poop the 6 days prior. I burp and hiccup all the time. I might be drinking too fast. After I drink I feel like I have to throw up, but it’s just gas. Once I left out a belch, I feel great. I got to shower today, which was awesome. When I was in pre-op, the morning of surgery, I was crying because I was scared. The medical staff was great. Once they rolled me in and I went under, I literally blinked and woke up in recovery. My procedure was 3 hours because I had some tissue damage that they repaired. But it was a good process. When I got out of surgery at 3pm, I slept a few hours and then I got up to walk. I went to urinate and had buckets of pee lol. The key is to walk a lot. The more you walk, the faster you go home. They give you lots of pain meds via an IV. I stayed one night and was discharged at 1pm the next day. The first night at home was rough. I couldn’t sleep. I’m a stomach sleeper but it was too uncomfortable so I slept on my back, which I hate. Today, I am not napping at all so that I can sleep better at night. We will see how it goes.

I had the procedure at UCLA medical in Los angels and they were great.

It was a positive experience. I thought it would be cancelled with COVID, but they kept me on and I was the second procedure since my hospital decided to resume elective procedure. Once under anesthesia, you literally wake up and are done. I stayed in the hospital one night. I am going to try the drink on ice. I have been able to hold down the liquids just fine so far. I just burp a lot and have hiccups, which can be painful.

I am 2 days out of surgery. I am drinking a Protein juice that is clear that my doctor recommended. Wondering if it is okay to put this juice on ice. It would taste so much better if it was cold.
