Hello I'm Wendi today I'm I week old from surgery and I have been having a solid food diet for ever now. I'm having trouble drinking the protein shakes and chicken broth. I really want to eat a banana or some veggie or fruit. I'm not suppose to eat anything but watery thing any advice here. I'm kinda hungry by now.

of course you are hating the water-y diet! Who wouldn't? Boring! however, it is a great way to heal your stomach and will be over soon! how about sugar free popsicles? Or try one of the clear fruit flavored protein drinks (I like the iso pure one). Maybe you could talk to your md about a protein pudding instead of a shake? That really helped me. Hang in there. This is a tough time, but it gets easier

How about some egg drop Soup? Or perhaps some watered down cream of wheat? you can also add Protein powder to the cream of wheat to get in your protein without having to drink a shake..

And I agree, ask about pudding..or even baby food (nice variety, cheap and small portions!)

I know the liquid diet gets old, but you have to think of it not as if it's just another diet --- this liquid diet is because you had your tummy cut and it needs to heal. Do not be tempted to advance your diet too fast, because it is dangerous and could result in complications. You can do this. Time will pass and you'll get through it!

I do understand i had mine on 9-10-2013 and i hate not having nothing but liquid but just a few more days still i can have pudding. try diffident kinds of proteins shake and i was told i could have sugar free jello as long as i smashed it around in my mouth first to make it liquid first. think of the out come and this to shell pass.

Thanks every one I'm doing the most I can. I still can't drink those protein shakes ugggg but I'm drinking plenty of water and other liquids.

My surgery was 9/16/13 I know what you mean and my head hunger is really getting on my nerves . Thank god this is temp , why are all the drinks so sweet argh ,,,,

Sugar free Popsicles, MyWeight Protein Fortified tomato soup was a lifesaver the first week, doctors sell it and it can be ordered online, it's also good as a great pick me up after your first week.
