When do you start feeling back to normal? Is it till you start eating solids?

That ain't protein is it? I wonder what wud happen if I just don't get the shakes or the powder protein and just eat my food?

They say possibly nausea and/or vomiting causing band slippage, your new pouch has to ease into each texture of food maybe do pureed before soft regular foods

ive got conflicting info from my surgeon about diet. My surgery was 4/26.

During consultation She told me Clear Liquids for first week post op..then the pamphlets she gave me said i can do both clear and full liquids for first week, just like the diet i did for the week before surgery. Yesterday when she discharged me she said LIQUIDs (didnt specify verbally on clear or full) for a few days and that if i started to feel hungry i can go to the mushies...the discharge paper just said clear liquids and didnt specify how long lol

i guess technically its not funny...but i have decided to do what i feel i can handle..i havent had any nausea from the clear liquid so far..gonna do them one more day..and then monday go to full liquids...i see her on tuesday to get staples out of my incisions and as long as i have kept down full liquids i will do them til wednesday, and then start mushies at one week (thursday)...i will stay on mushies for 2 weeks tho, because that is one thing that seems to be consistent in what she told me and what i have read..is that mushies u do for 2 weeks.

No I'm not saying ima go straight into reg food I'm just saying I wonder what wud happen if I just ate the cream of chicken and the yogurt etc.. With ought the sprinkled protein

@rebecca did she say anything bout protein on the mushies diet?

I guess not get enough protein u need, maybe just act the surgeons office

I guess so.....

protein helps make u feel full and gives you energy, so i dont know how bad it is that we do without it..but as long as what u have has decent amt of protein in it, u should be ok i would think

@rebecca did she say anything bout Protein on the mushies diet?

not specifically..but the nutritionist has pounded in my head that no matter what stage of the diet you are at, make sure u get your protein..harder to do on Clear liquids..but with the mushies u can get protein by pureeing chicken and other things that are high in protein..i know pureed chicken doesnt sound good..but its not to bad. I tasted it back when my sis had gastric bipass surgery

Www.unjury.com this is where you can get unflavored protein powder. It has 20grams of protein. I added it to cream chicken soup.

I am reading all this and am confused. My Dr put me thru a 6 month nutrition class and lap band nutrition. I have a step by step instructions of what to eat and when, sample menus and list of places to get protein powder and how to use it. So every step of the way for the next 3 months is given to me in a blue binder that they said to use as your bible for the next 12 weeks. And it also explains what to do and what to eat after fills. It is wonderful. If anyone needs any info just holler and I can get out a page in my food bible and help out.

Wow!!! That us wonderful wish I had gotten one of them bibles!!! And thanks for the website!

@twins4me2 is it really flavorless??? I get grossed out very easily!

I also use a whey protein from Walmart that is really good and has 52 grams of protein for 2 scoops. I forgot the name but it's in a black and orange container and it is the best to drink. I even put a scoop in sugar free hot chocolate at night and it is good and filling. I also have cream of wheat and pour slim fast high protein drink on the cream of wheat as if it's milk(vanilla of course) and you get alot of protein that way. I'm on day 23 so I can have soft foods.

I know that isagenix also has an unflavored protein powder, I've bought it before at a health food store.
