I can't do the Protein so I need this next phase to help get me through.. My list is short too but it's just suggesting it say so my plan is to try and sprinkle protein into the puree it won't be the recommended amount but any is better then none.. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am excited to be started the next phase tomorrow and I am looking for suggestions on what foods we can puree.. My list only has a few examples Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's both the taste and consistently.. The only way I have been able to get any in is with the unjury unflavored in diet Snapple but I can't sip it all day I will have to look into that be nector protein! Thanks Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you everyone!!! Kranky813 my dr also told me he is more concerned about me getting fluids and not dehydrating vs the Protein.. I just can't wait to be able to eat a meal with my family again oh and get rid of this feeling in my darn throat! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my sleeve done 04/7/16 and I am 1 wk post op today. I was never a thirsty person pre op so I am having a real hard time with the Protein and Fluid intake.. I feel like I am drowning protein is the hardest for me. I have tried it many different ways and can't seem to stomach it because it's just disgusting. Any suggestions?!? Also since surgery I have had this weird feeling in my throat like it's swollen.. I can drink fine but it's sore and annoying!! Anyone struggle with that?

I was also Sleeved April 7th.. How are things going? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am 7 days post op and I am questioning myself too.. I don't know how much longer I can take this.. The Protein is disgusting no matter how I try to mix it and I'm having trouble getting it in just because I don't like it. I can drink Water, broth and eat Jello fine it's the nasty protein.. I ask myself everyday so far why I did this any suggestions how else to get my protein in?!? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That isn't everyone's instructions. I was explicitly allowed Premier Protein during my clear phase. Getting in my protein and fluids were both my surgeon's priorities. To the OP, just keep sipping and working at it. It will get easier. Are you taking a PPI? What is PPI? My dr told me to focus on getting any kind of Fluid in for the first few days to avoid dehydration.. The protein I just can't stomach because it is disgusting. Just can't wait to be on baby like food lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I guess it could be gas pains didn't think of that Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

From what I was told by my dr and nutritionist as of 04/9 I should be on stage 2 Protein shakes for 7 days which is low sugar protein shakes and other sugar free drinks, Jello, pops and broth Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My surgery was April 7th, I just came home yesterday and I am having a problem getting as much Protein or liquids that they recommend. I have awful pains that feel like my stomach is trying to growl and I'm wondering if anyone else has had this problem? I had lapband in 2010 and had it removed in February 2016. I remember having a hard time with protein just because I don't like it but can't remember if it felt the same.
