Thank you both for these suggestions, I do recall at my 1 month followup that my hemoglobin was low, the surgeon said that she wasn't worried at that time but I think your suggestion for labs is very appropriate. I am allowed carbs I usually have a netzero tortilla but I will try the oatmeal.
I am low on proteins, the surgeon did suggest 75 grams at this point, I will also work to get those in. Perhaps I will use some protein water to add some additional protein.
I hope that you all have a great day, and thank you again for your suggestions and guidence.

Ask for some bloods to be taken to check your levels. Even with taking your vitamins it’s easy to be in a nutritional deficit simply because you’re eating so little at the moment. You may be anaemic. Try to get more protein in too when ever you can. I know it can be tough. I supplemented mine with a high protein yoghurt/yoghurt drink (I hated those shakes). Are you allowed carbs? Even some rolled oats (not instant) every day can be helpful (a complex whole grain carb, that’s low processed).
My levels were okay, but I was lethargic & hard energy drops for a while. I found an electrolyte drink helpful for a boost of energy especially if I had a lot to do that day.

glad you are talking to doctors! Are you able to get in your vitamins and proteins? B12 shots have really proven to help energy as well. I hope that you are feeling better soon.

Hello June Buddy

Congratulations ?

Protein pudding pops are a great idea! I think it is great that your surgery is moved up. You're going to do great!

Hello! I am new here, I am so grateful to have found this amazing group, I look forward to meeting more individuals.. My surgery is June 12th at the University of Iowa Hospital. I am nervous and excited at the same time. I am preparing so that I have everything needed.
If you have already had surgery, what is something that you wish you would have done prior or brought to the hospital with you?
