Trouble eating

I litterally don't like anything I eat? I'm so sick of soups ( I'm on the full liquid stage)

1) I don't like soup anymore

2) I can barley stomach milk-based protein shakes ( barley getting protein in)

3) I've been only able to drink fruit juice ( no sugar added)

My parents are very worried I'm not eating enough but I really don't know what to eat!

Today I had 5spoons of brocolli soup

Some apple juice

And some orange and pineapple juice

And that's really it...

Nothing else

I really don't know what to do, I have 5 days left until I can have a blenderized diet

I can't tell from your post, that you can't stomach food or if you are just tired of eating the same old thing?

But here's my experience. My first 10 days post-op, I literally couldn't eat a single teaspoon of food without Frankensleeve twisting into knots. I didn't like the pain, but I tried look at it this way; I had thousands and thousands of calories stored in my fat. I wasn't going to starve for months! As long as I stayed hydrated and felt okay, I wasn't worried. I didn't worry about getting enough Protein, I didn't worry about anything except Water. I knew that eventually, I'd be able to eat normally again.

I am right there with you...and can't move into the next stage until Thursday. Just sharing some things that have worked for me...someone shared that they use nectar Protein powder - and it has been my saving grace! I got the Lemonade flavor and mix it with Water. I think it has 20 grams of protein. I also have been drinking plain milk - for me it is so much better than adding the Protein Powder. Found a brand of milk that has 12 g of protein - Fair Life. Horizon has 8 g of protein. Good luck and keep in mind - it is only 5 days! :)

I'm six weeks out and should be near the end of soft food, almost able to start eating normally again--but I hate everything. Either it makes me sick or I just have no desire to eat at all. Protein shakes give me dumping syndrome. I hate greek yogurt. I was over cottage cheese after two days. I never want to see soup again for as long as I live. Everything makes me feel uncomfortable and bloated.

Forgive me for sounding like the spokesperson for Fairlife milk, but Fairlife Milk is the only reason I haven't died of starvation! It's ultra-filtered, so lactose and most other sugars are gone, and it's got extra protein and Calcium. I drink that with a variety of sugar free/diet flavors (strawberry, chocolate, PB2, diet hot cocoa), and munch low-fat cheese or occasionally a frozen yogurt bar.

Some people just tolerate different things. My sleeve just happens to be a crybaby about everything, but it'll get better. Yours will too. Just keep experimenting with different foods so you find a way to get your protein.
