I'm 7 days post op and I'm feeling very discouraged. I'm starving and I still have a lot of stomach pain. Popsicles, Jello and crystal lite all taste disgusting to me including Water. Tomorrow I start my full-liquids. What do I eat?? What was your first "full liquid"

Thanks

I'm three weeks out and Water is still disgusting to me, so if you find a solution please let me know. I also can't stand the taste of Protein shakes, so I'm with ya.. I

I made pineapple Jello and ate it before it settled, I poured in the hot Water, stirred it, added a cup of ice cubes, then spoon fed myself with that, I also ate the ice cubes as they melted. It got me going, might not be the answer for anyone else, but it helped me.

My favorite was mixing a can of Progresso white clam chowder mixed with a can of chicken bouillon, with the chunks strained out. Something about being warm and salty hit the spot!

Protein Shakes can be disgusting but if you drink the "total lean" shakes by GNC they are fabulous! I have been drinking them since July and I have not had any complaints. The pre-made ones are even better until you are able to get the powder ones and add the fruit etc. Hope that this helps

I have tried just about all flavors. I do both the powder and the liquid. I have been told NOT to drink the orange cream because it's nasty and that was from the staff. When drinking the powder I use 1 scoop of powder, add 1 spoon of greek yogurt, 1 spoon of powder Peanut Butter, 4 pieces of fruit, ice, sprinkle some ginger on it (for digestive), and 1 cup of almond milk. Blend and it's awesome. If you happen to do 2 scoops of Protein then I double the milk. I even take the GNC mega Vitamins for women in the powder form and I put a scoop of that in there too. I have a video that I created which goes step by step on how I do everything.

The liquid I like to drink cold or almost in a slushy form! I drink those when I am on the go. They taste waaayyyy better than the whey powders and better than the Atkins drinks to me. I don't add (too) sugary fruits such as peaches and pineapples, etc. I use anything with a berry at the end because it gives it a hint of sweetness (which it really doesn't need). I also may add banana when I need that potassium. My favorite powder from the collection is Cinnamon Bun and Pina Colada. My favorite from the liquid is strawberry, chocolate and then Vanilla!

Hopes this helps :)

What flavor do you get in the total lean? I have been drinking the Premier Protein shakes! Loved them before surgery , now they make me sick to my stomach. Do you prefer the liquid or the powder ?

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
