    I’m only 2.5 weeks out. Will it get easier to get my protein? I cannot do it right now, I just can’t. The protein shakes are all disgusting to me now, I can’t drink enough broth, I tried unflavored protein powder in broth and that was disgusting, I tried Vital Proteins water and it was absolutely foul. Help?

    I have not lost any weight since October 14. My surgery was September 14 and I did lose over 30 lbs in the month after surgery. I am tracking my foods and exercising and I’m getting 500-700 calories a day. Trying to get 60 g of protein but not always getting there and the shakes are intolerable to me. This is very frustrating. Help!

    Help! I am not even a week past surgery and today I started experiencing intense physical hunger. Nothing I am drinking is taking an edge off of it. I am so miserable. Please encourage me- I am just desperate.

    Yes! Soups have been helpful.

    Actually I was terribly hungry at that point and the surgeon said it was pretty common

    This is such a fantastic summary of some really important findings. Thank you very much for posting!

    I cannot recommend this cookbook enough! My husband bought it for me and it has been immensely helpful with recipes from the liquids to the regular food stage. It has a number of smoothie recipes that are tasty and get you plenty of protein. I'm moving to pureed soon and I'll use the recipes for the pureed stage as well. Totally worthwhile purchase!

    I saw that somewhere too. I take omeprazole already but Mylanta or something might help. Good idea.

    Thank you for the encouragement! I am doing better with protein today and feeling better and more optimistic.

    I don’t want to eat any particular thing at all- I am *physically* extremely hungry. My stomach feels completely empty, I have a headache and am losing energy.

    I am starving. So hungry. 30g or fewer carbs per day for two weeks. How are you doing??

    I’m scheduled for September 14 too, in Austin! I started my 14-day pre-op diet today. No more than 30 g carbs per day. What’s your pre-op look like?
