I am 5 days post-op. I have Vitamin Water zero, sugar free ice pops, crystal light iced-T & my Protein Shake (occassionally). broth is nauseating to me. I am tired, jittery, feel shaky inside & my calves are tingly. Is this normal? Am I not getting enough Protein?

First few days I would do 1oz Isopure (the clear ones) then try to get 3oz Water or diluted white grape juice over the next 45 min.

This was over the course of an hour.

You may have low blood sugar. You might want to try a little diluted apple juice. I get that way when my blood sugar is too low. Keep us posted

I would be careful making a smoothly so soon out of surgery. I too am 8 days out and I'm not sure that the acids of fruit or yogurt, which ever the smoothie base may be will be to great for you at this point! If you have a Protein powder I would stick with that and mix it with Water. You could blend it to make a frappe type shake but still be careful not to stray from your Clear liquids. Good luck to you:)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
