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've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
