March postops, what you eating?

I had my DS on 3/10/09.  I am on protein shakes, water, soy milk, thinned down refried beans (I add a scoop of unflavored protein powder to 4 oz), and yogurt.  I tried some watered down oatmeal, but it just didn't sit right in my stomach.  I am trying for 30 g of protein a day right now, and shooting for 64 oz of liquid, which I have problems with.  I usually only end up with 50 oz or so, but I am trying.  Certainly don't want to go back in to the hospital for dehydration.

I really have to space everything out.  It's a pain.  It took me an hour and a half to get down 6 oz of yogurt today.  I'm constantly sipping on my water bottle. 

Hi

I'm only 9 days out...
It on 5th day that I finally was able to get my full Protein & H2O requirement.

I use protein powder from Walmart...it comes in 26 or 52 grm per scoop dosages. Yes, the whey powder does get in my throat which caused painful coughs. So I tended to drink it over period of 2 hours with water in between.

On day 7, I started eating the Yoplait Light fat free vanilla vogurt over period of 1 hour.

I use the SF pudding to eat my precriptions.

Total Cal is under 600 and the protein is 67 g


I'm told the ice cream machine makes great frozen protein desserts...this may be a solution for you @ the drinks?

I just had surgery on Tuesday. I'm on full liquids with yogurt and sf/ff pudding and protein shakes. So glad soup is a liquid it is definitely saving me.

I am drinking 'vanilla flavored' "American Whey" from GNC.  It has 20 g protein and 6 carbs.  It suggests one scoop in 10 oz water. I  quickly learned that 10 oz of that stuff was nauseating.  So now I put 1 scoop in a cup and add enough water to mix it.  Then a little ice.  I drink it FIRST THING when I come downstairs in the morning.  I'm thirsty anyway, so that helps.  Then I take my shower, etc.  I cook 1 scrambled egg and have that for breakfast.  So far, that works pretty well.

My surgery was March 4.  I'm allowed any foods (of course proteins #1!) and I am still staying away from carbs pretty much.  I do eat (sometimes) some canned chicken salad mixed with low fat mayo and salt/pepper.  I put it on crackers and eat 4 crackers worth for a meal.  One can lasts me three meals. 

Hope this helps!

Hi everyone,
I had surgery on March 9. The thing that I am eating a lot of right now is Fage, it is greek yogurt and has a ton of protein (21 grams/cup). I can only eat about 1/4 cup at a time, but a couple of times a day it adds up. I add splenda or sf pudding mix to make it taste good.
I am still having a problem with the protein shakes, they are not going down well at all. I feel like I'm doing really well if I get 40 or 50 grams a day, but the doc says 80, I think he's loco, maybe once I can add meat, but not while on full liquids.

BOOST!!!  I bought Boost (chocolate) yesterday in WalMart, put it in the freezer and dang near got the first whole one down!  It was super thick so it sat well, and tasted alright.  I hope I can tolerate this brand cuz I know I haven't been getting enough without these supplements....when I can eat meat, it should improve tho!!

I had my RNY on 3/5 and am on pureed foods until my one month follow up.

MY basics are cottage cheese and applesauce (and suprisingly im not tired of it yet), poached or scrambled eggs, baby food meats and veggies, and ricotta cheese with tomato sauce.  I've also tried wendy's chili and baked cod.  TOday i bought some yougurt and greek yogurt, but not sure if i will like it.  Oh and i try to get 2 protein shakes in a day made with soy milk and unjury protein.  I can handle those pretty well but tend to drink them a little too fast. 

Most days I get in 60-70g protien but im still having major problems getting all of my fluids in.  Between eating 2 Tbs to 1/4 cup per meal and taking all of my supplements, where am I supposted to PUT all of the liquids i need to consume?  Sometimes i feel like i need to be awake for 24 hours in order to get everything in LOL

SO far i havent found anything that really upsets my pouch (yet) but I still need to focus on slowing down eating and gulping liquids.

We Marchers can do this!!!!!
