Have you tried Protein Water? I found Premier Protein Water at Sams. It has 20 grams of protein in it!



Im still on phase 1 if the diet and I’m on it till I see the doctor on the 25th. I can only have Clear Liquids and sugar free products like Jello, broth, and Gatorade. How did the protein water taste? I just seen it the other day but I didn’t want to buy a full case till I try a single bottle!

It’s great! At least I like it. Plus It’s the best option to get the protein in during the clear liquid phase. I have been using them as a snack during my pre op and it has helped keep me going!

Why aren't you able to get all Protein in? Too full? Nauseous? I will be starting soft foods this coming week.

I feel full after just a few bites. Everyone has such different guidelines to follow! I had surgery the 8th and came home the 10th. My first 2 weeks I am to have only puréed protein for 3 meals a day.
I am supposed to try to get AT LEAST 65g of protein in and there’s no way my few bites of food 3x a day is gonna make that a reality unless I drink my Protein Shakes for all 3 meals and that can’t be healthy! Someone suggested protein Water so I’m gonna try that, that sounds like a great option. Thanks everyone

Anyone able to get all their Protein in? I am barely able to eat more than a few spoonfuls of my puréed Protein at every meal.

Yeah I'm finding getting alk the Protein Shakes down really hard. I'm up to about 450ml a day but my goal is 700ml. It's just so gross and I have no appetite xxx

I had a gastric bypass on 10th Jan and I’m not sure what was in my anaesthetic but I’m so physically restless and unsettled. I am full of energy and I am beginning to run out of things to clean or organise at home. Has anyone experienced this? Not that I’m complaining at all because it’s nice to have enough energy but I just find it odd.

I had the bypass on the 9th,,, it was a b***h!!! Omg the pain was horrid!! The worst pain was the gas pain that traveled to my chest and shoulders!! Got discharged on thurs and Friday in th er for severe shoulder pain,, worked up for clot,, negative,, just that gas trying to work out,, now things feel better but getting all this Protein and Vitamins and meds down is not fun! Once 2 weeks comes up I’m sure I’ll be over the pain and horribleness and I’ll be looking towards the future but damn, this was no joke!!!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      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!!
