Po 4 days and struggling



Recommended Posts

The Bone Broth makes me nauseated no I'm struggling with the Protein Drink. The creamed Soup is much better. I'm worried I'm not getting enough Protein, in fact I know that I'm not. All the sipping takes forever to get this stuff down. Any suggestions?

I'm a week out and struggling as well. I am soooo sick of my premiere Protein Drinks I literally can't even look at them without my stomach starting to hurt. I tried unflavored whey Protein but the scoop is as big as my serving of food so I definitely can taste it and I just can't stomach it. Looking for one with high protein for a more reasonable size serving like a Tbsp that won't make me want to throw up.

Ikr I got this huge bag of strawberry Bariatric Advantage and I can't fade it at all. $66 for that ugh! Pissed and my nutritionist just gives me vague answers. The sipping is making me crazy, and how can I drink 8oz? Lol horrible

My taste buds have changed and what I was ok with before I'm not now. I liked the premiere Protein gonna try it again tomorrow if i tolerate it I'll go for it. But it doesn't have the nutrients we really need.

I think I'm going to be looking for some Protein water--if the thick shakes bother me, that's an option I'd like to have. But i'm pre-op and know nothing yet!

I may look into that too. It's very hard the first 2 weeks be prepared. Your pee stinks so bad it's disgusting. And the sweat coming out of my pores is gross too. Things they don't tell us. My sense of smell is off the charts. I'm 4 days post op and I'm scouring Pinterest for anything I can find. Im scared becaz I can't get any kind of Protein down. It's even hard to eat the Jello. I read that can't drink with a meal ever again tho, that's a bit crazy.

It gets better! I am 5 weeks out and I struggle everyday, but I know tomorrow will be better. I still have days where I live on Popsicle.

I am doing better on my Protein although it's definitely still very challenging to get the protein in. I have now found I like Iso Pure it has 40g of protein I like the taste although they are a little sweet. Having said that it takes me all day to drink one. I also like premiere protein clear which I got at sams club. I'm finally go ding ways to get my protein in without upsetting my stomach [emoji5]

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
