So tired of liquids!



Recommended Posts

I'm hungry but God I have so tired of sweet tasting things and liquids. I have one more week of liquids before soft foods. I would rather not eat than drink this crap anymore ugh.

Ohhh, I'm thinking I'm going to be uttering those exact words when I've had mine done.. Can you have a soft boiled egg or scrambled? I'm a beef eater, and going months without will throw me into massive withdrawls. Good luck!

I mixed unflavored Protein Powder in broths and every cream Soup I could find....chicken beef, hot and sour broth, tortilla soup broth, lobster bisque, Tomato Soup, leek soup, cream of shrimp, asparagus, mushroom, spinach, chicken..... Dilute and strain the cream Soups because they often have little chunks.

So these unflavored Protein, are they actually unflavored? What kind did you get?

I was able to start pureed foods this past Thurs. and I put unflavored Protein powder in everything! I buy the nectar Unflavored Protein Powder. I can't taste it in anything. I have one Premier Protein shake in the morning, which is 30g of protein, and I do pureed foods with protein powder the rest of the day. I also make sure I get my fluids in. I drink Water throughout the day. I am able to get 65 to 70g of protein and 64oz in everyday. I highly recommend unflavored protein powder!

Take care to stir the powder in AFTER you take your liquid off the stove. If the soup gets to a boil the Protein powder will curdle. So heat your soup up, let it cool for a minute, then add in your unflavored powder.

Also, the unflavored powders really do taste like nothing. I use Jarrow labs (I like to put a scoop in my iced coffee), but there are plenty of other brands out there. :)

      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!!
