2 days out of surgery. Anybody else dying for food and sick of shakes?

Nope. I could barely sip water just 2 days out. Let me guess, you didn't have to do a pre-op diet, did you?

Not at all. I was still in the hospital and I almost didn't even want anything to drink

Really. Every time I see food I want it. Must be in my head.

well by about 5 days in I was. my swelling in my stomach went down quickly. and I was hungry, which I would guess was due to hormone still in my system.

but know that it is probably the hardest part of the process. once you are on soft foods it gets so much easier from that standpoint.

let us know how you are doing!

I had no pre op diet and my experience was same as yours.

I was the same way at about that point. But I am not sure if it was physical hunger or if it was all in my head. At the point it had been over a week since I had eaten and my head as freaking out. That feeling left after a few days and the struggle with food began.

I would chat with your surgeon about these feelings. I think that is a dangerous place to be in. You don't want go through all of this work for nothing.

Also with the shakes, how can you make them not so frothy? I hate it. Don't mind thin. But the thick frothy is gross. Can't figure how to blend them without all the froth. Yuck

I just make sure I am blending mine on low speed, it doesn't take much to mix it. if I overmix it then I have froth.

I use about 4 to 6 OZ low far milk and a scoop (that comes in tub) of Protein. Should I change my ratio?

well, I don't know. what does the package say? I use about a cup and a half of milk and one scoop of powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury in mine - but I suppose some of that has to do with how much milk you want and how much flavor of the Protein powder.

Since it's right after surgery I think 4 to 6 OZ of liquid is all I can handle. I'd prefer more milk but don't want to over due it

I'm right there with you! I use a shaker bottle instead of a blender for that very reason!!! Try one of those or just stirring rapidly with a spoon. Sometimes the spoon can leave it a bit gritty but I prefer gritty over frothy!

You can use more milk. Or even Water. Makes it thinner and easier to drink. Just drink it more slowly over a longer period if it makes it too much volume to drink at once. The milk adds even more protein, so it's all good.
