Anyone skip the puree stage? I can't get a lot of liquids down and feeling lethargic, weak I know I'm not getting enough protein, it just makes me sick Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I had this type of surgery on 9/15. I can't find a lot of info in this site about it unfortunately. Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

Hi All. I'm new to the group as of today! I am a week postt op and I can't get down Protein shakes! They make me gag to even smell them. I literally gag. I have tried several flavors and varieties in different forms...even making my own. Nothing works. For my pre-op doctor's visit , my doctor is going to flip his lid of I tell him I can't do the protein shakes....HELP!!!!!! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

They are soooooo disgusting. I'm so glad 8 only purchased one for GNC. I have premier protein peach coming today from Amazon and praying it's a tolerable flavor. Its such a balance trying to find what you can stand. I can't endure the protein shakes so I am consistently in a game of trial and error of how to get my protein down.

I am right there with you. The struggle is so real and everyone seems to think you just have to "find a way" but the fact is, you are trying but your body and stomach just rejects it. I had to pray and get divine power because I was in tears. I'm not there yet, but I am seeing a little progress in tolerance for the Genepro protein powder if I put it in liquid first, shake well and then put it in soups I enjoy ( the broth). I have a ninja blender so it blends any grit taste out 90%. I'm learning to give myself a good balance of grace and perseverance through drinking. Nothing is Goldilocks "just right" perfect yet, but I've accepted that that's okay. It's easy for some people to get there protein grams in and others struggle, but know that you doing great. You made a healthy and bold decision for a better life, applaud yourself for that first! I made this post a few days ago and maybe it will help you. Just look for the title in this thread and feel free to private message me if you need to. You are NOT ALONE!!! Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I'm in post op, does that matter? Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app

I would like to think he wouldn't, but he isn't the understanding type. I wish there was a way to just inject protein, lol![emoji6] Sent from my Pixel 2 XL using BariatricPal mobile app
