How much water and protien were you able to get in 5 days out? I'm only getting 20oz water and maybe 20 grams of protein. Does that sound normal? I have no desire to drink another shake :/

that is about the same amount i was getting in the first week. One thing that i found helped that my NUT recommended was alternating days. One day focus on getting all your water, and whatever protein you can get in is great, then the next day focus on getting all your protein, and make water the secondary goal. That helped me a lot the first month, when getting in enough of both was just seemingly impossible. Good luck!!!

Thank you. That seems like it will work. When did you start eating eggs or cottage cheese?

No eggs it is alot of work for your sleeve right now most wait for 6 weeks for eggs.

My dr. Said at 2weeks out I can have half of a hard boiled egg but only the white.

I had my revision on May 6th and I was allowed to start pureed food a few days ago. I have had a scrambled egg, rigatta cheese with a bit of sauce in it, tuna salad and oatmeal. All went down fine but I only ate about 5 bites. My Dr. is a bit more flexible with his diet restrictions than some others. Good luck!

The hospital gave me puréed scrambled egg the morning after my surgery. I've been eating them about every 3 days. Very filling, but taste so good compared to all the protein shakes. I'm 1.5 weeks out.

I was allowed scrambled eggs at 3 weeks, when i started soft solids. And cottage cheese was allowed for me during the full liquid stage. My Nut also said that cream of wheat, or cocoa wheats are fine for full liquid stage as well. I just added some unflavored Protein powder, or you could add vanilla or chocolate to them as well. for a few weeks i could only eat about half an egg, and that was taking it slowly. At 2 weeks out my Nut also told me i could have some mashed potatoes with some Protein Powder added and a little shredded cheese.
