Week 5 . Am I getting in my nutrients

[Ezinne 18]

Hello dears, Got sleeved 7th of March. I cant still get even the soft solids down. The boiled egg whites , scrambled, poached still get stuck and i have to finally throw up. Quaker oats are not also easy to keep down. Basically my friend now is greek yoghurt , Protein Shake and sometimes grits with skimmed milk. Cant enjoy chicken even when properly chewed. what can I do? Please am not happy that am not getting in enough nutrients

I remember doing cottage cheese, sugar free pudding, sugar free popsicles and things like that until solid food stage.

Yeah, cottage cheese was also a go-to for me. Are you able to take your Vitamins? As long as you're taking your vitamins and drinking your Protein Shakes, you'll be okay for a while, until you're able to eat more.

I'm just starting full liquids today so I don't have a lot of experience to give but I plan on using Protein Shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt and possibly trying out Protein pudding. I was able to get in about 6 tablespoons of Protein Shake this morning before I felt really uncomfortable. I think it's gas/period pain but I didn't want to push it. I've had a few sips of Water over the last 45 min and the pain seems to be subsiding. My advise would be to stick to easy Proteins and try things like chicken in a week or two and see how it goes. It's almost like feeding a baby food for the first time. Doesn't always go well, try again after some time has passed. Good luck!

The three most important elements immediately after bariatric surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.

The transition to the solid food stage can be rough. There is no need to accelerate this transition. Just take your time and you will get there.

Cottage cheese, refried Beans, yogurt and fairlife mils is what I lived off. Fairlife Coles in chocolate too.

I can ear meat, but it hurts really quickly. I'm almost 7 weeks out, so I try to stick to softer foods.

Good luck! It will get better!
