Hi there. I was sleeved on June 25 and to be honest it was a rough start. I had no pain, just a little discomfort, but the nausea was a killer. At my 7day check up I was so weak that I was sent to the hospital for IV fluids. It was amazing how the nausea went away and I perked up. I'm still struggling with getting my fluids and protein in. My taste and smells are super heightened since surgery so the protein shakes I used to like I'm now watering down and pouring over ice to just tolerate them. I'm now in the puréed stage and wondering if anyone has experimented with adding protein powder to nutibullet smoothies or have some protein smoothie recipes to share. Also does anyone have an opinion on the nectar protein powder? Are they really similar to crystal light taste? Sorry for the long post and if this is in the wrong forum.
