    Unhappy Day 6 post -Op !HELP!

    On Full liquids. Can only take 1 tablespoon of liquid at a time. Today I had Fat Free vanilla frozen yogurt 1 tbls. Then for lunch I had Cheese and broccoli soup strained 1 tbls. other than that just sipping on H20. Sometimes I have a sugar free Popsicle. I can nurse one for a half hour or so. I know I should start my protein shakes. I just haven't felt like it. I will attempt one for dinner! Anyone else feel like this?
    Thanks -Stef

    Stef, congrats on getting your surgery done but I cannot stress enough that you MUST get your protein in ... it doesn't sound like you are getting enough and that can lead to some pretty serious illness and screw your recovery up.

    Instead of nursing the popsicle, nurse a protein drink. Drop some protein into your water and sip on that ... Once you are a few weeks out, your stomach will start to adjust and you may actually feel "hungry" again ... but it takes a while... right now your stomach is looking at you askew and saying "What in the hell did you just do to me?"

    Steph. I have been using the protein syrups from walmart with ice cold water and crystal light. Doc said I can start soup tomorrow. Also added unflavored soy protein to egg drop soup and it was really good! Protein is so important. I don't feel like anything thick like the shakes but had one I just made with more skim milk so it wasnt so thick.

    Do what you have to do to get the protein. I am on day six myself and I am doing 100grams a day and feeling stroner every day. I am on liquids for 21 days and then on to soft foods. I get two onces of fruit in the morning and then at dinner. I put it in the magic bullet with my shake and away I go. Sip Sip Sip is what I am learning you have to live with a glass a water in your hand and have it at room temp. The colder fluid will shock your new tummy a bit so I have been careful not doing to much cold. Don't give up and get moving on the protein.

    I am day 6 also and I find that warm liquids go down MUCH easier than cold. I love me some soup strained and diluted with broth Like Steph I sip water constantly. I am up to a daily total of 8 oz of protein shake(BA) made with skim milk which gets me to 35gm protein. I know the protein is a priority but the thought of more protein shake turns my tiny stomach. Went to GNC today and got a few types of protein supp- Isopure and new whey. Will try one of those later.
    Looks like a Walmart trip is in my future to check out those protein syrups.

    I went out to the Vitamin shoppe and got some syrup, un flavored. Its wicked sweet. I will add it to some diluted apple juice tomorrow. For eveyone using Crystal light it contains citric acid. this is horrible for your teeth and can cause severe sensitivity with daily use! Just sayin, got to let all my sleeve peeps know !!!

    I'm six days post op as well and am suprised at how different everyone's diets are. I'm able to get 3 protein shakes in a day and half of a container of baby applesauce (that takes a while to eat) I haven't been drinking as much water as I should but I have been taking the shakes instead. Is it wrong that I am able to get so much in in a day? I didn't realize I was getting more in then other are!

    I was told prior to surgery that I would be able to get 100oz of fluid by the end of the first week. But I had to sip sip sip to make it happen. With the band in place last month I would go half a day with nothing and then drink 64 oz in one sitting. They have also told me once I go off the liquid diet for the first three weeks the fluid intake would go down to about 80 or less per day.

    I got the protein shots in walmart by the other health food stuff. The vitamin shoppe is good too and proteinex on line I got lemon lime and 2 tb is syrupy but 18 g you can take it straight or mix with water and sugar free lemonade or lemon juice.

    This eve I had soupy farina with peanut butter and it was delicious! Tomorrow i am going to puree some navy beans with chicken stock.

    Only thing going on is the incision the drain tube was in is still not closed but doc said it was fine. Plus the tape from bandages I had on my belly took off my skin and that burns like crazy especially in the shower.

    I have discovered 3 tablespoons of farina is my limit at one time.
    Tomorrow is a nice walk with a friend and then a gentle leg work out on bow flew with son helping. So glad I took 2 weeks off to get a good healing and routine diet down!

    I was doing pretty much the same thing at 6 days. The difference is that I had purchased protein shots or protein bullets. They are 3 oz containers. They are kind of yucky. First, I mixed it with Crystal Lite and then decided to pour an 0z at a time into a shot glass and take one shot three times a day. I think they were 20 or 25 grams of protein.
