thanks ya'll i will try some of the things you all said but i have not been doing Protein shakes cause i cant find a kind i like...

I had that same problem ! The best Protein Shakes are Lean Body by Labrada and the True Results brand. U can only get the true results at one of their locations. I mix it with frozen fruit and a pack of Truvia . I use Water to mix with it . It's delicious !

I was STARving!!!! This weekend & my body began shaking. So I pulled a Cuban (that means do what my 105 yr old grandmother would do) I made a very light split pea Soup. Omg, that was the trick.

I called the dr's office & explained my weekend she said that was I drinking my 50 grams of Protein. I thought I was only allowed 1 shake, nope, it was supposed to be 2 or 3. Duh,,, any way split pea is filled with Iron & Protein.

So happy now. Not hungry.

Good luck

I finally set in to Premier Protein chocolate shakes. Same calories a the Atkins I was drinking with half the fat and DOUBLE the Protein - 30 g. They are actually pretty good. Also, I find the shakes so much more enjoyable if they are very, very, very cold. Them serve over crushed ice.

When I couldn't handle any more broth, I went to Chik Fil A and ordered a Soup and asked them to scoop me as much liquid as they could. It was SOOO much better than canned broth and I just didn't eat the noodles or carrots. It was awesome.

Also - sugar free Jello and Popsicles were my best friends!!!!

Good luck. You can do it. Work on a hobby or start a new one to distract the time.

Love the Premier shakes especially with the crushed ice.

I'm on regular food but after a fill those shakes are great!

I am sick of eating Soup and I am only week and 4days post op. is there anything else to eat??

I know everyone will chime in with what they're allowed to eat on their diets, but please remember to follow the instructions outlined by your surgeon/nutritionist. I have seen widely varied post-op diets in my time here, some ranging from back to normal foods in less than a week to liquids for 6- each doctor has a set program that works for them and it really behooves you to do exactly as your doctor has outlined because that is what has proven successful for them.

I'm 4 days out! And the gas pain in my chest and back are horrible.. Is this normal

Yes!! So normal, or at least for me! I'm 5 days post op and am still having a difficult time taking big breaths. But it does seem to get better everyday! Walking really really does help! And Gas-x will do you wonders! Try that!

We have a place here in Houston called nutrition depot that sells the Labrada brand . If u search for a true results office In your area I'm sure they will have it .

I'm in the same boat. I can have cream Soups but strained, yogurt but no fruit at the bottom, sugar free Jello. I'm sick of liquids!!! I'm a week post op today. I don't move up to solids until 7/17. I'm hungry!!! My brain is working over time thinking of everything I want to eat. The food commercials aren't helping. I emailed my nutritionist today asking for suggestions. I'll let you know.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
