I've hit rock bottom. I'm 3 1/2 weeks post op and today is a rough day. I'm very tired, nauseated, diarrhea usually once a day and wondering if I'm even getting enough nutrients at this point. I've lost 28 lbs and so overwhelmed with what to do eat, when to sip, am I getting enough fluids etc..?? It goes on and on right now. My doc says to try going on to soft meats and veggies and I hardly can get down 11 Oz of protein shake per sitting. It takes over an hour to sip that. Does it better from here?? I'm wondering WTF I did to my body and hitting a low point.

Time makes all that better. It does get better. It is very stressful worrying about the Water and Proteins at first. My surgeon told me the first 3 months to focus more on the water and Vitamins. The Protein is great if you can handle it but not a major issue until 3 months out as far as depriving and deficiencies go. chicken, tuna, cottage cheese, greek yogurt, fish, all has awesome protein for you. Choose a few favorites and add some broth or avocado or spices to get it to right consistency that you are ate and snack on it every few hours in between whatever amount of shakes you can handle.
