I am 7 days post op and am only supposed to be doing liquids but I've been having such hard time getting fluids and protein in! I'm seriously only taking in 260 calories a day at the most for the last week. I feel awful. So my husband did a very soft scramble on 1 egg for me and OMG it was the best freaking thing I've ever eaten. I chewed really well and it took me like an hour to eat it all but it was so worth it!!!

So' date=' no judgement here but just an observation and a question. I'm sure that egg was good, the first food I ate once I was allowed was a scrambled egg and it was the best damn egg I ever ate. But if you're having a hard time getting in liquid Protein, how did you get in solid food? The liquid should go down even easier no? Is it just that you're sick of protein shakes by now? That's understandable, I think most of us were. Just go forward from here and know this is the toughest it's going to be. It gets much easier very soon. Stick it out....keep drinking that Water and those shakes. Very soon you won't have to drink them any more.[/quote']

The problem I'm having is that nothing tastes good. I'm living off aporox 30oz a day of Isopure because its the only thing I can drink that doesn't make me wanna puke my guts out. So the fact that the egg tasted AMAZING made me so excited! I'm trying my best to up my fluids but if I drink much more than I am now it makes my stomach hurt.

In the words of the great Yoda, "Try"?

'do or do not" "there is no try"!!

No judgment. I've been on purée, per my doctor, since the morning after my surgery. I wouldn't worry too much.

It's possible you're now lactose intolerant. My shakes were mckinney nauseated so I took lactaid pills with them and that has really helped. May be worth trying that, or switching to soy-based for a bit.

Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup? I recommend it a lot, as it tasted great to me, went down easy and gave me the Protein I needed.

Good luck!
