I am almost 6 mints postop and totally know what your going through. For the first 2 months I couldn't tolerate anything it seemed like. And tried sooo many different shakes I felt like a gnc store. They all smelled like baby formula and made me gag.. Still do. I still can't get in all the protein or water I am supposed to. I do try my best to eat protein first but know that bite or two of starch takes up some of the space more protein could have filled! I have averaged 10lbs a month and am quite happy with that. Just know the way you feel is something a lot of us go through and it will get easier every day.

You will not get hungry for a long time. You have to make yourself eat at specified times. If you don't want to be sick, you will start taking your vitamins and drinking your water. This is not an easy fix. It takes a lot of hard work! Most doctors make you drink 64 ozs. Of water so doing 32 should be a breeze. Try using a straw. That worked well for me. I liked lean body protein. The ready made kind. It is lactose free. Banana flavored was my favorite.

I had the exact same problem! Still having problems 22 months in. Just know, even though it is very hard right now. In the end it WILL be worth it. Even though I am still having problems, I would do it again.

Kimerick2008@gmail.com if you want a surgery buddy. I would LOVE the support! I still really need it. I found this website a week ago. So happy I did.

Just wish I found it sooner.

Good luck and I hope I hear from you.
