I was doing Cream of shrimp, cream of asparagus, ricotta cheese and baby food.
For a special treat ricotta cheese and cinnamon mixed and heated. it tastes like the center of a cannoli .
If you've recently had surgery, it's completely normal to be lacking energy. After my surgery I was worried that I would never regain my normal energy levels. I remember going to the store and having to lie down to rest before being able to put my groceries away. I'd have to lie down after taking a shower. It was awful! In due time, I healed and my energy returned to its normal level (unfortunately, "normal" is lower than I would like it to be!). -Tina
I wish I could help you. Unfortunately, I'm one of those people who hasn't been careful enough with monitoring post-op intake and I'm slowly gaining and gaining (thus my reason for returning to OH and reading on the diet and nutrition forum). I know that current problem is eating too many carbs/processed foods. They cause my blood sugar to spike and then when it falls, I'm ravenous and eat more calories than I need. Does your surgeon's office offer any follow up support? Mine did... until I changed insurance. The staff at my surgeon's office were all wonderful. I'm now a member of Kaiser. I tried seeing a nutritionist about a year ago to help get back on track. I didn't trust her advice. She told me I should eat 800-900 calories a day for the rest of my life. She also scolded me for eating baby carrots and snap peas as a snack, but said it was perfectly fine to eat 3 cheese sticks in one sitting! Needless to say, I'm not going back to that nutritionist! -Tina
When I throw up is usually not food just froth... Dry heave for a bit too!!!
Today I had about 6 small bites of scramble egg with cheese and maybe 1/2 tsp of yogurt for breakfast that's all I can eat. Lunch about 4 quarter size chicken bites. I just don't feel like this is enough... Nutritionist say just add healthy fats but if I can't get the food in how can I stop loosing weight! Protein shakes are nasty and I can't drink them, trying protein bars in afternoon but with trying to drink and also add protein I can't spend all day eating... I have to work too!!! Frustrating to say the least I try not to cheat.
I need help I have lost 81 pounds since surgery in December. The vitamins make me sick, I can't slow down weight loss! Been using vitamins patches from patch md. Protein shakes are nasty, I need some ideas on how to get more food in when I can't eat but 4-7 bites of food. Nutritionist wants me to add healthy fats but I can't eat any more than I do without throwing up. Anything will help at this point.
Have you spoken with your surgeon regarding struggling to eat without throwing up?
Are you currently measuring and weighing what you eat?
Can you post what and how much you are eating in a day?
Some of the vets here will be able to chime in and help you out if they know what your current daily menu looks like.

Has anyone been lacking energy during their pre op or recover? I have been trying a few things and just curious what others have been doing in order to regain energy
Have you heard of thrive? Their shakes are good and no only do they provide you with the nutrition you need but also help with energy that might help with motivation?
