I'm supposed to be getting 90g of Protein a day but at 12 days out I'm struggling to get the Protein shakes down. I didn't mind them so much preop but now the flavor is gag inducing and everything else I've tried has been worse. After the first one I feel very full for the rest of the day. I'm only getting 25g a day. I know I need more. I get faint several times a day and my Dr. wants me to eat more to remedy that.

I'm a bit frustrated and hoping it will get easier. On the happy side, I have no problem getting my fluids in and I'm down 14 pounds since the surgery and 39 pounds overall.

I'm dabbling in puréed food a few days early. I tried a little bit of hummus, but no chips, and mashed up a hard boiled egg. So far so good. It's been Almost five weeks since I had food between the liquid pre-op and post-op. I just felt so very weak. I'm ready to chew!

I'm day 9 post-op and since the surgery I've been having severe mood swings. I'm angry most of the times and feel like fighting with everyone. Anyone else with this problem? ??

Yes I do. Do not want to be around anyone. People drive me crazy quick. I'm hoping this passes

Me too. I had a soft scrambled egg today and a spoonful of hummus. Both went down fine, although I realized my new stomach only holds 3/4 of one egg. Weird thing is I find it much easier to drink Water now that I've had "food". I've gotten a lot more Water in today. And the egg and hummus improved my mood considerably.

I was able to eat the entire egg, but I felt full after I ate it. I feel so much more satisfied. I have no regrets, but I will probably take it slow for now.

I completely understand. Also going through so many emotions and completely regretful. I'm so incredibly weak and tired. I have zero energy.

I'm also very emotional.

I had my surgery on he 27th and started my full liquid yesterday. How much Protein are you guys getting a day or how much were you around this point of my process?

Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I too was sleeved on the 27th, I'm getting in close to 60g of Protein via shakes and powder protein plus I am having skim milk and chicken broth. Included I am getting close to 60 oz of fluids in (sigh my Soup, Water to mix with protein etc) . I swear it's all I am doing but I am determined to get my recommended amount in . I'm having no issues with getting Iquitos down what so ever.......craving real food like no body's buisness...I miss chewing

Stop talking about eggs :) So jealous! I would never have guessed I would crave an egg so much!

I had to do Isopure Water and Protein broth for first week post op because after one day I couldn't tolerate the shakes. I just got back on a morning Protein shake but still can't think about drinking vanilla yet.

My 2 week check in is tomorrow. I too have nibble a few small things. So far luckily no problems. I am 65 G Protein and that is hard. I can't imagine how one would get in 100g right now!

My surgery was June 29th, I have not stepped on the scale yet. I'm feeling better but still having pain to left side of my abdomen. I'm able to tolerate cream Soups and some of the Protein shakes. I also found an unflavored Protein Powder by unjury that gives 21g of Protein per scoop and I add to my Soups and drinks like crystal light or my other Protein Drinks. This helps to boost my Protein intake. How long those the pain last?

Hi. I'm 6 days post-op and I'm still on clear diet. I get hungry a lot. But the worst thing is I'm getting depressed a lot! !! What's wrong with me. I'm already on antidepressants but it's been 3 days I'm always either angry or sad.. anyone has the same problem?

I too take anti-depressants and have been struggling. At times I cry and other times I'm angry. It does get better a bit each day. I find if I go for a walk or keep busy it's better. I live near a lake and find the Water and fresh air comforting. I hope you feel better

Isopure unflavored is 25g per scoop good to know unjury is a favorite of some.

I had more pain in first few days, more discomfort that pain. Thankfully mood is only thing that I think is improved maybe because a bit tired at first. Now energy is good I agree with others moving is key. I have been doing some light cleaning/reorganizing that I have been putting off. I am not looking forward to return to office tomorrow though!

If its gas pain its going to come and go for a few weeks most likely but you are swollen from the surgery so that could last a few days. I hope you feel better soon. I was having pain too and took a little bit of tylenol liquid and I felt a lot better. Ask your doc ;)

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
