CaseyMichigan 3 Posted January 5, 2013 It has been a little over a week since I underwent the sleeve. Wondering what the heck I have done to myself. I can't find a Protein I can tolerate. All the dairy protein whey's make me want to puke. Which Is so weird because I was able to tolerate them presurgery. Now the simple smell makes me go BLAHHHH. I have tried the green tea Isopure and it tastes like dirty socks smells... I was so excited about a new start, a healthier me - but now I feel lethargic and uncertain that I made a wise decision. I can't seem to hold anything down in my stomach - except chicken broth. My sense of smell is like when I was pregnant and everything is intensified. I am down 26 lbs (that includes the 10 lbs pre surgery). I am a very optimistic person - yet I just don't know what to do... Yesterday I called my dietitian and she spoke with my surgeon who said even though it is early, I could try pureed chicken or tuna. So I tried tuna and my stomach felt like I had "quick sand in it." Between the cramping and reflex. It feels like so much longer than a week and a day. HELP. Feeling trapped in a body I'm unfamiliar with... 2 kizzy and SusanR reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
notime 340 Posted January 5, 2013 I couldn't do the Protein Drinks either. Try plain lowfat Greek yogurt; add fruit flavored Protein Powder (I like Jay Robb pina colada from GNC) to fruit Jello mix and prepare the normal way; add some vanilla or chocolate Protein powder to vanilla or chocolate pudding mix and prepare the normal way. 1 CaseyMichigan reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tinarho 29 Posted January 5, 2013 Protein powder is awful! I do the whey slammers because of the size (3.7oz). It tastes like crap but I can do it fast. Remember this is only temporary! 2 CaseyMichigan and Amyl219 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SusanR 9 Posted January 5, 2013 I can relate about the smells & tastes being too much! I had my surgery the second week of Srpt 2012 & I've lost 51 lbs. so far---slowly but surely. I eat pretty much what I want, just smaller amounts & losing 1-2 pounds/week. Hang in there! it gets better. 1 bhoppyk reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It will get better, the Protein shake I can only drink a little over 1/2 but a couple of days ago I was crying saying what have I done to my self. So I'm praying for you and your recovery!

Mater 63 Posted January 6, 2013 I think everyone has that feeling in the beginning even if they won't admit it. I did. I gets better. I had to eat scrambled eggs a week after my surgery because everything else was horrible. Now I eat and drink anything I want. There's no going back so look to the future. This will all be a distant memory soon..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
