Hello everyone! I wanted to go ahead and start an August surgery group. With everyone's date rolling in, I figured it was time! My surgery is August 2 and I am nervous and excited, but mostly ready to be done!!! How about everyone else?

2 1/2 weeks out and had to spend today in the hospital. Severe dehydration and heart palpitations. I'm having trouble getting my fluids and can't find anything I want to eat, or if there is something that sounds good I can't eat it. Down 25 pounds since surgery but I eat basically nothing and my body is weak. I am a nurse and I know better but I just can't make this eating and drinking thing work. I returned to work in only one week and I think it was to early but I really didn't have a choice. Something's gotta give soon......

I'm with you nursenicci...I am three weeks out and can't get my protein in to save my life...I'm not getting all my fluids in either but I think I'm doing better on that than the protein...I can't stomach the shakes so I try to get it in with my food but that isn't possible right now...

I no the feeling, im also a nurse n no better I am barely eating n I might get down 20oz of fluid on a good day, I'm 3wks out today. I was a open cut from top to bottom plus the laprascopic cuts. I'm so sick n weak that something has got to give. I feel like the life has been sucked out of me. I walk across the house n I need air because I feel like i'm gonna pass out. So ur not alone. We will be better in time, i'm trying to think positive n pray u will feel better to.

August 14, 2013 was my surgery. I'm in RI. I'm in the stage three diet. I'm so sick of liquid and ready to chew something.

I hear you! I had surgery the same day in boston. I just want something real. I'm living off cream Soups, barely getting 50 mg of Protein. I can't wait to see my nut on Thursday.

Becky u and I are both 3wks. I just cant get that protein in, I want to puke wen I try n drink it. So Wat i'm trying now is a egg 6g n cheese stick 7g then later a Adkins bananna/strawberry shake 10g ( which I don't care for). Today in gonna try a piece of fish 14g. My dr. said I could do fish this week if I chew it well. So all this is better than nothing. Hope this helps.

Try Isopure unflavored Protein Powder. I'm getting over 90g of protein a day. You can add it to soups, or whatever really.

Where do you get ISOpure at?

I know you can get it at gnc...I'm guessing it's fairly expensive as i tried the pre made fruity protein drinks and they are almost $6 a bottle...I think they tasted horrible...

I purchased mine from GNC. They didn't have it in the store so the guy shipped it to my house for free. It is pricy, about $50 per 3lbs but it lasts for forever and has saved my hide. Each scoop is 26g of Protein and 0g of sugar. The nonflavor has no taste at all. I was skeptical but its true.

I agree! Isopure drinks are nasty!!! Awful aftertaste and I couldn't stomach it! I think it's even worse than New Whey protein shots

Ty my husband says I want a steak in a bottle. Lol but I jus want something that don't have a taste. seems I hav super sensitive senses.

Agree, I am so sick and tired of sweet, I got chicken soup flavored protein powder and now add it to all soups. It tastes OK.
