I have had some major issues since I had my sleeve done on January 10th in Tijuana. I ended up with a large blood clot in the vessel to my liver. I also had to have a foot of my small intestines removed. Having both of these surgeries in less than 2 weeks has left me weak and malnourished. I need some help with the easiest to digest protien that will be easy on my stomach. I fell and popped out all of my staples so I have a wound vac on. I have to admit I have been really down, I didn't think I could take one more minute of pain. Anyone have any advice for food choices and a little motivation?

Thanks,

Oh no, I am so sorry you are suffering like this. I have tolerated Premier Protein from day 2 post op. Have you tried that? It is ready to drink and has 30g of protein per 11 oz. serving.

So sorry to hear what your going thru..Injury protein powder is also good

Healing thoughts are being sent your way.

I am so sorry that you are having a difficult time of it...It is going to take some time for you to get your strength back and your body back in condition. Try the shakes mentioned above...Others probably have some good ideas.

I had a vac for 10 months. Annoying little machine isn't it.....hoping for a quick recovery for you hun!

When I was at my worst in the 5 month stay at the hospital because of complications from my surgery. A very smart nurse said to me...how do you climb a mountain... Being in so much pain and not really listening I said I don't know. And she said....One step at a time.

That is how you have to deal with it all too. One situation at a time. Be good to yourself and work toward getting better by keeping positive as much as possible okay...It is very important that you see this as temporary and not a looonnnnnng haul...K

I am no expert on getting int he Protein, but find what you like and add Protein Powder to it. sprinkle it in your eggs or cottage cheese or greek yogart. 5 oz of greek yogart is 12 mg protein, so with some powder in it like you could boost it up nicely without having to eat more. I will say one thing with certainty. I ran wound centers and have put 100's of vacs on people. It is the best treatment you could be doing for fast healing. I know the dressing changes are not fun, but thank God only 3 times a week!. sorry for your complications. God speed!

Thank you very much, I have a few protein supplements I am going to try. I think when I am stronger I will be able to heal much faster.

Sometimes you forget about one step at a time. I can't imagine a 5 month stay at the hospital, that must have been horrible.

Thank you for taking time out of your day and responding, it means a lot to know I am not alone.

I was having a hard time with dairy products but maybe I will give the yogurt a chance, I do love yogurt!!!
