Hello everyone . I am 17 days post op and I am having a hard time finding things to eat. Everything I try upsets my stomach and I'm not hungry at all. Today I had a string cheese, and 2 bites of shredded chicken. Im nervous because I don't want to get in a habit of not eating. I need a plan, please help.

I am having my surgery tomorrow. My Dr said I will be on Protein Drinks etc; no food until my post op until 7/26/17. I am on liquid now and have been since yesterday. Ugh.... I will be watching your post because I'm going to want to know what to eat. I google everything, but its good to get ideas from other people who are going though it.

Best advice is to not buy too much of one thing in the beginning I am 17 days out after gastric sleeve. I have a pantry full of boxes of Bone Broth ,cream Soups, and a frig full of different Protein Shakes I hate. I found a protein milk at publix called Rockin refuel it's awesome. chocolate taste just like chocolate milk and the vanilla taste like icecream. Has 30 grams protein. And I love oikos triple zero Greek yogurt has 15 grams protein the strawberry and salted caramel are my favorites. I got some unflavored Protein Powder to add to my soups. I've made a smoothie using fat free skim milk protein powder and fresh strawberries added splenda. Also crushed ice is my friend. I go to sonic and get bags of pellet ice and keep in my fridge. When I need to chomp on something it's there. Hope this helps.

Sylvia...Thanks for your suggestions. Being the fanatic I am, I also have Protein powder and everything coming out of my cupboards. LOL

We do not have Public here but I can check for that Rockin brand somewhere or order it on-line.

How long before you can go on soft foods? How long were you in the hospital?

Are you feeling well since its 17 days?

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
