5 days post op need help!

Hi Amy.... We had our surgery on the same date..... Protein is going ok for me. I haven't met my protein goal yet, but working on it. I found a shake called Extreme Smoothie by VHT. You can get it online at vitacost.com and I also found them on bariatriceating.com and in the GNC. They are wonderful.... 35 grams of protein. I love the praline scream, chocolate dream & cappuccino. No yucky after-taste I think because it's made with skim milk & doesn't have soy in it. Take the protein drinks real slow. I know if I drink them too fast right at the top middle portion of my stomach (where my new pouch is) starts to feel real full. I find I can only get in about 10 oz of any liquid in an hour right now, which I believe, is normal. If you can tolerate skim milk you can boost the protein by adding 1/4 cut of dry non-fat milk to 8 oz of skim milk. This brings the total to 17 grams of protein. Good Luck & keep us posted Tammy

Thanks for all your posts! I have tried several that taste okay. Its just that after I drink them even if its just an ounce i feel really sick. My stomach cramps and I get very nauseated. This lasts for 2 hrs or so. I dont even try them any more. I just eat only pureed protein and feel fine as long as its not fatty. Thanks, Amy
