Hi Carrie, I have been having the same issue. My weight loss stalled and I wasn't getting in hardly any Water or Protein. I went to the doctor yesterday for my 6 week checkup and told them that everything I put in my mouth makes me nauseous so I can't eat and drink. They asked why I had not called and told them about the nausea. I WAS TRYING NOT TO WHINE! Anyway, the doctor explained this.... I am dehydrated and because of that, I am nauseated, so I don't eat protein and I do t drink which causes dehydration. Which makes me Nauseous so I don't eat or drink..... Get it ? It's a vicious cycle and hard to break ! But it's not! They gave me Zofran dissolving tablets for the nausea, so yesterday I took one and ate and drank and drank. And today I am drinking like crazy after taking the Zofran znd guess what?? I feel so much better !!! And I was down 2 pounds this morning !!! I wish I had asked for the nausea medication sooner !!!! Please everyone, don't be afraid to ask the doctor for nausea medication, it really, really, really helps !!!!

Protein Shots! No Not The Painful Kind!
barebones posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone, I have found something on line that I saw mentioned a couple of times on these boards. They are called Sunkist Protein shots. These little gems are packed with 42 grams of protein. It takes about 3 swallows to get down and it's not terrible, not good, but not awful!! They are gonna be my lifesavers. -

What Are You Eating One Month Post Op?
barebones replied to americas_suiteheart's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone !! I found something else that will satisfy your crunch need and yet melt into nothing for your pouch !!! Special K makes cracker chips, I just tried the Southwest Ranch and they are awesome.... I only ate about 10 and that was good. A serving is 27 chips for 110 calories, 2.5g fat, 1g Sugar, 2g protein. It really satisfied my crunch need !!! -
I won't lie, it's bitter but I would put it in jello, applesauce, pudding ... Whatever works !!!

Hi ! I take Zoloft and Zyrtec and Prilosec. I took all of them from the day of surgery on. For the first 3 weeks they were crushed. Now I can actually swallow them with Water.

Dear got2bethin, don't you worry one bit about having the wtf's. I have been having them over and over and over. I am one month out am starting to test different foods but everything makes me feel nauseous. Protein drinks come right back out or make me I'll all day. Thank you for bringing up the wtf's.!! We will survive, we will get thru it and I thank everyone on this board who helps out with the positive suggestions. You keep being strong, one day (hopefully soon) we will also say this has sooooo been worth it. -

Okay, the only things I can eat right now is Greek yogurt, sliced turkey and low fat cheese - is that a problem ?? I cannot put any protein drinks, protein cookies or proteins supplement of any kind in my mouth without wanting to puke. Any one else at this point?

I was doing great right after surgery because I was re hospitalized becuz of pneumonia, they kept me on liquids longer. But I really haven't lost this past week at all and it's frustrating! I am also recovering from a huge abdominal hernia repair they did at the same time so I can't exercise as much as I need to do I get frustrated alot! I am happy to hear that you are a meat and cheeser too - I prefer them to anything !! We will have to keep in touch !!
