Hey' date=' I am having the same exact problem. Tomorrow will be exactly 1 week and I can't keep down any Liquid Protein (I have a few flavors and brands that I bought and liked pre-surgery), I now hate Jello (ewww) and I can't stand chicken broth anymore. I've been drinking Water, some with cystal light packages and sugar free Popsicles. I am praying that at my post-op appointment tomorrow my doctor will find a reasonable solution to this, because these Protein Drinks are now working out for me :'([/quote']

Me too! I loved Unjury Protein before but now it really hurts to get them down no matter how slow I drink them and they are gross. I am also experiencing pain at night and therefore I have to take pain medication which makes me groggy in the morning. I am finding it difficult to get in the 100oz of fluids and 89 grams of protein. Are you taking your Vitamins yet? I am walking but not very fast at all. I had surgery oct 3rd.

Well I went to my preop appt. everything looks great except they forgot to mention to the insurance they were removing my. Band.... I don't think this will hinder anything as the insurance said yes already to bypass. So now onto the fun times.....

I will have my surgery on the 31st.....I am flip flopping between being excited and being really scared. I keep asking myself if I'm doing the right thing.....then I think about all the discomfort I have just walking sometimes, how difficult it is for me to take good hygiene care of myself and all the other things that obesity causes and I tell myself this is right for me. So why am I scared?

It is normal to be scared. You are scared of the changes that you have to make from the way you have eaten and exercised your whole life until now. You are apprehensive on letting go of the food that got us here in the first place and maybe scared of finding out why you chose food to comfort you. It is like any drug people turn to to avoid abuse they may have had growing up. But just know you are doing the right thing and taking the right steps so that your past doesn't dictate your future

      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!!
