2 weeks postop

Hi all. Thank you for your encouragement. I am 2 weeks post op and doing ok but def not getting the nutrients I should nor the hydration (how I want to guzzle a big glass of water). I do realize it will take some time. My body is no longer a fan of the sweet stuff:shakes jello pudding etc. I did make red beans I was able to tolerate and broth. Eggbeaters also helps. Any other post op ideas? 

i did egg whites with ricotta or cottage cheese, made them go down better- if you plan allows it.

also adkins lift has a drink that is pretty good. sells at walmart

gnc has an isopure protein drink with 40 protein that I would drink 1/2 of at a time.

bone broth with protein powder?

The IsoPure is a great idea. Thx so much. Grateful to find a protein drink without a dairy base! 

I also purchased some unflavored protein that has 20G per scoop. I will begin sprinkling that on everything. 

Check out The World According to Eggface for great ideas and recipes for all stages.

Ok great...i will! Thx

your plan may differ but at 2 weeks I was told to only focus on protein and staying hydrated. I was a HUGE drinker **** tea, lemon water ect not alchohol) before surgery, like to the point where family and friends teased me about how I always had something to drink around and how much I drank.

Since I can't drink as much I find myself thirsty all the time. My little trick has been ice chips. Don't swallow them if you can help it because sometimes the cold can hurt your pouch, however I find that ice chips make my mouth feel like its hydrated enough to not make me crazy.

Yes! Thats me....the guzzler! And proteins & hydration too! Ive started doing ice chips all throughout the day which helps. Now to get my protein up. thx

Have you tried Whey Isolate Splash from GNC?

I havent. I may try it today. Thx

I have become a huge fan of the Chobani Triple Zero yogurts, specifically the coconut flavor.  Also, one day about two weeks post op I had an urge for Chinese soup and only had the broth and it was a REAL treat!
