observastions 1 week post op

It is amazing how today I can take a normal size gulp of Fluid. Up till now It was only tiny sips, took forever to get the shakes down

Isopure makes great popsicles .

I have more energy than before surgery but tire easily.

Egg drop Soup strained if FABULOUS and sits good. Very cheap to buy already made too.

I had 90 grams of Protein today, without any difficulty. Earlier post op was about 40 grams.

Life is good........

That's great! I still struggle getting in 90 at almost 4 weeks out! But I can't gulp, still have to sip most things or it hurts! Congrats!

Hi ,

I am one week post sleeved also. I was wondering would you mind telling me what you are drinking in a day? I think I may be drinking to much. I can drink Water very easily then I will have some Protein shake maybe 1/2 cup and then wait and have the rest of the shake. I really think I could just drink it right down but I try to make it last about 15 min.

Then I will have some strained low-fat Soup 1/2 cup again but I feel like I could drink the whole can in about 15 min. Are you feeling full with what you are drinking?

The binder I am going by says 1/4 cup Protein Shake but it just not enough are you able to drink 1/2 or more with each small meal?

Thank you

I can add Protein to my Water, so I can kill two birds with one stone. I use Profuse grape (love it). I drink almost constantly during the day. Which is getting better as time goes on. I drink two Premier shakes a day, 30 Protein each, the rest is all Water with protein.

Hope that helps you Pam

Hi! Can you tell me where I can purchase profuse?

[judyoz 240]

I purchase it through my doctor. Only $15.00 a bottle. Use 2oz per drink. I just purchased berry and that is also good.
