Have you tried adding a banana or avocado to the Protein Shake? I find they really add to the texture issue I have. Both seem to thicken and make it smoother.
I've tried everything even mixing Greek yogurt. It just doesn't stay.

I will be 2 years out from Gastic Sleeve on 4/12/18 and I have only gained about 5 pounds, but never hit my goal weight. I struggle with what to eat? How much? Protein ideas? etc. I really want to get to my goal, but I just don't know what to do anymore. The Protein Shakes I was drinking before and right after surgery, make me sick now just to try and drink one. I don't eat Breakfast because I do not know what to eat and I am on a very, very tight budget as a single mom. Any suggestions?
What are you eating now? Also on a budget but since I don't eat a lot it's quality over quantity. Protein Shakes for me are convienant with a price, but I can't drink the powder kind. I eat tuna pouches and eggs a good bit, yogurt. fruit at times. I have found if I stick to healthy planned food I get full and stay full. Unhealthy Snacks like crackers I could eat around my pouch if I wanted to. I'm 15 months post op tomorrow. Not where I want to be yet but like you gained about 5 lbs now loosing again. I had a coffee problem, I still do only now it's not loaded with as much bad stuff.

Actually it is a little scary but when I do eat, it seems like I can eat more than I think I should......that is another reason why I need some example menus with amounts. I am falling into a pattern of not eating Breakfast, low on lunch and then trying to squeeze it all in at night......by having sample menus, I can get back on track like when I was only doing liquid or purees
I ate about 6 or 7 times a day. I still do about 5 at 15 months post op. But a meal is a yogurt or a tuna pouch, or an egg and 1/2 peice of fruit.< br>
Today
Oatmeal 1 serving 31g or a little over an oz
Coffee decaffeinated with Splenda
Snack
Nonfat yogurt 6oz
Lunch
Tuna pouch 2.6 oz
Snack
Cutie
5 almonds
Dinner
Egg skillet which is
1.5 egg scrambled
2 slices land o frost turkey
Cup total chopped Spinach peppers onions Tomato mushroom
All sauteed together
Will have a snack later depending on my blood sugar. It runs lows sometimes. Again I am way farther out than you but hopefully it helps.

I was thinking that too. At 7 weeks they would not let me have nuts or seeds either

I'm 15 months post op tomorrow. Most days I still feel like me some days I don't recognize that woman in the mirror. Don't get me wrong I like me and don't regret it at all just sometimes I don't feel like me at all. Always a bigger girl and getting "noticed" more is a bit awkward.

Honestly I think I have tried them all. Liquid shakes I can do like Atkins or premier but if it's powder even if I put it in the blender it won't stay down. I'm 15 months post op tomorrow. I can tolerate almost anything on plan now but those just don't work. Anyone else have this issue? It's not a flavor or taste thing it's the texture.

My sugar and the need for meds stopped when I did the 2 week pre op liquid diet had surgery Oct 3rd 16 so I'm a year 3month post op. Bs is great. I also had PCOS but had a hysterectomy about 3 months before so I'm not sure how much it would have helped. Fertility was one of my initial goal when I started my weight loss journey. I do feel my hormones are more regulated but it could be partial hyst, of by pass related.

I had surgery in October last year and married a wonderful man February....then things changed. Snide comments about my size and things. He has gained about what I lost too. It's about their image and insecurities. Nothing to do with you as a person. It is hard but it can be worked through if he is willing.

I am over a year post op Oct 3rd 2016. Most things I can eat but I still have days I can't tolerate eggs, chicken, tuna, or broccoli. Some days anything is fine. Hope you feel better.

Went to my pcp today. My high creatinine levels are not due to bypass as they have been that way on occasion previously. I have neurogenic bladder and hydronephrosis. This was from a spinal cord injury in 2007. Apparently that is a "normal" level for my condition. Good to know..
Mine is from the same thing as well

My body my choice. If asked I'm honest for those who want to gossip and guess I let them think the worst

Around 5-7 weeks I went through an I could eat more than I thought I should phase then it was like my stomach woke up and said no. Sliders like Soup yogurt liquids I can eat more but at 8 months out I can do about 3-4 Protein 2-3 veggies. I have that 1 week a month where I feel constantly hungry regardless so I try stay more planned because I crave sweets, that I don't even want once I taste them

No I had a hysterectomy then bypass 4 months later. If it could have waited they would have done them at the same time. My pain and recovery was about the same with both. Bypass was a little worse but neither bad
