post op 8wks an having horrible pain
If you're having horrible pain, you need to call your surgeon.
Why are you only managing ten grams protein? I had a lot of trouble with protein at first but I was getting about 30 grams.

Thank You Kelly. Yes I did call my Dr. I will see them on monday. The reason so low on the protein is because I am still fighting nausea and the pain when I try to have more than cool or cold water is just to much. I get nauseous from the smell of any food cooking and any thing sweet. The one blessing is I have not been vomiting. Thank You Lord. I keep trying different drinks and such to try and find something I can tolerate better. But this pain. This week it has gotten worse instead of better. My capacity seems to be around 1/8 to maybe 1/4 cup.Put food in it and then pain starts and I am done for a day or 2.

Try room temp vs chilled water. It may make a big difference to how you tolerated it. Odors may cause newer post ops issues, but should subside with time. Even at 6 years though, I get a quesy gut when someone is cooking bacon in the house. Try to make notes about anything unique that causes you more pain than other times. This info may be helpful to your surgeon. You need to eat daily, not every other day. Some people prefer to add diluted fruit juice or lemon to their room temp water to make it more appealing to them. DAVE

I'm glad you have an appt to see your doctor. Have you tried room temp or hotter liquids? There are times just changing the temperature of the liquids makes it go down easier. I hate to say this, but you MUST find a way to get in your protein. You're almost 5 months post op, so it's imperative for your health. People's tastes change post op, so what protein works for one, may not work for another. Hard boiled egg whites are nothing but protein. Cottage cheese? Yogurt? As far as protein shakes, I like light muscle milk and Isopure Smoothies (not Isopure zero carb..ewww).
