Feeling discouraged

Hi all. Just feeling discouraged and need to vent to people that can relate. I'll be 6 weeks out on Thursday and am struggling. I was feeling really badly last week after being constipated for a week (sorry if tmi). The nurse have me some suggestions that got things moving but then I spent several days cramping and feeling naseau. She put me back on clears for a day, which did help a little, but I got off track with liquids and Proteins. I'm really having a hard time getting back on track. I'm trying to make myself drink the Protein shakes once a day but last night it made me literally sick. I'm only supposed to eat 3x per day and just can't get enough protein in with the amount of good I can eat. Nothing tastes good or satisfies and I don't even really want to eat. Water even upsets my stomach so getting at least one power ade zero per day, but lacking in fluids as well. I'm tired and don't feel good if I don't eat but feel even worse if I do. I hate to be a whiner, and I certainly never thought I would see the day that I didn't want to eat, but it's all catching up with me. I'm worried about the effects over the next few months of me not getting the protein I need now.

Can anyone relate? Any tips?

    Have you tried unjury chicken Soup? Thats pretty good and a good change of pace from all the regular sweet flavors. Try adding the unflavored to chicken or beef broth, just can't add it to really hot

    I used to drink the premiere prior to surgery and really liked them. Now, in my first week out when I was going to rely on them I can't hardly stomach them. Sorry, no pun intended! I think I am going

  • have you tried several Protein powders? I'm sorry you are struggling.

I was so psyched to try the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup because of all the rave reviews. I waited until after my surgery because I didn't want to be bored with it, so I kept it as a special treat - OMG. I have never tasted anything so gross in my life. I barely got past the smell and when I tasted it, I really wanted to throw up. I was convinced it would be awesome because every one loved it - except me. I have the jarred broth that you mix with Water - way better to me. Sorry Unjury Chicken Soup lovers. 11 days out and I've mastered Cream of Chicken and Cream of Mushroom soup, Cream of Wheat (plain) with a scoop of chocolate Protein mix and tonight I had the refried Beans with a dollop of FF cream cheese. So far everything is going well, but I gotta tell you......Every time I eat something new I'm terrified. I HATE throwing up to begin with and I have such a fear of it with my new tummy.
