How many of you have gone through this and how did it work out for you??

This is a vicious little cycle... I'm feeling so sick to my tummy and I know it has to be because I'm not taking in enough Protein. I'm still on a liquid diet... 3 weeks and counting and I'm so sick of all this sweet crap and I've never enjoyed plain runny (non chunky) Soup. Plus, I'm so nauseas I don't even want to attempt to take anything down. Water is even making me gag. I had an upper GI test done last week so I know there isn't an obstruction, leak or ulcer. I just have to "woman up" and make a high protein shake!! but ...ugh... I don't wannaaaaa......... but I also don't want to go back into the ER..... stupid, awesome surgery.... You better be worth all this

50g of protein in this, chalky, shake..... Let's see if the nausea begins to fade

Hello, it's been 2 weeks since my surgery. I'm on puréed foods now, but I'm having trouble getting all my protein in. The dietian at my doctors office said it will be hard at first. Now I feeling so weak I can barely take a shower, is it because im not getting enough protein in me or not enough food and water or is it all three?

Red I'm gonna say all 3

I am getting my protein in by shakes, I also have Fage Greek yogurt. It has the most protein. I was concerned about weakness as well (2weeks out) and the surgeon said it may be the rapid weight loss that is causing that.

For me cold smoothies or shakes go down better and also the sf carnation instant breakfast.

For reference, I am getting 0 protein. I do not feel exhausted, might just be me but I seem to do ok with my vitamins and liquids. I don't get to have ANY protein until 3 weeks post op. it is quite amazing how different each doctor's philosophy...

Try isopure...?

Isopure is what I use. But I grew really tired of the taste mixed with carnation instant breakfast .... Now I just make one in the morning (with two scoops for the full 50g of protein) and I take down as much as I can ... Then if I feel tired later on I do the same. This way if I don't drink it all at least I'm getting in a bunch.
