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 !

The chocolate and vanilla flavors are excellent for both brands . No after taste

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
