Post-Op Protein HELP!!
Well maybe not as clear as you thought if you arent getting the responses you desire lol. Everyone is human and im sure they are trying to help with their responses. Look i went off the board for my early protein i ate some over easy egg yolks. It was kinda liquidy so i went with it and it was my own idea. Just dont eat the thicker goo around the yolk that might be consider soft. there is protein in each yolk. also i discovered not only do i hate the smell but container the drink is sitting in so straws are helping me. most that hate the protein shakes switch to real meat asap. 3ounce of meat is 21 g protein in general. If you can get that in 3x a day youd be fine without protein powder at all (if your protein goal is 60g like mine). other foods have protein like that fairlife milk. ofcourse you can get this approve w surgeon like the rest of us

Post-Op Protein HELP!!
These tips about putting waiting between bites and gulps is true for me. i actually set spoon down for awhile in between or there can be pain and suffering. In the very beginning when i couldnt force myself to drink nasty protein shakes i ate over easy eggs. Just the yokes they have protein. But eventually did the plug the nose and drink thing lol. Right now im in soft foods.

Pre Op Diet
Not really but i lost a ton the first month which i am currently in and the surgeon said she is very pleased! If you are doing bypass say goodbye to big portions in preop ? the surgery really does detour .. cant speak for sleeve

Having a wobble....
I recommend food funerals preop because it may be awhile before you eat those really devish foods again also the portion would b smaller (if bypass). With bypass it feels like my eyes are bigger than my stomach so you may order something but only b able to eat two bites ?

I wonder if thats the surgery or the tube. I feel similar but no tube. When do you get to come off the tube? Hope you are feeling better today

Bruised
Forgot to mention you can place pillow on tummy for standing might help

Bruised
Time of course. Heating pad or ice pack whichever surgeon recommends. Just hope you get to feeling better. If its muscle pain maybe get script of flexiril if its incision pain you can get a script for topical lidocain (make sure surgeon okays) just gotta push through

Caring for children post op
Nope u going to need some help incisions etc i dont have any children right now but i did awhile ago lol. Look those incisions for most of us it was painful to go from sit to stand to give u an idea. You are told a max weight u can lift but in my opinion have family /friends come for like 2-4 weeks. Better still one that also cooks lol
