I'm actually one week out today and all of this stuff I bought is a waste to my new stomach. I'm taking the shakes back to SAMs!!! I have to get some Protein in so I can get some energy! I'm on purée foods so maybe I can get some in that way. But I got to do something :(

Our tastes do change dramatically after surgery. I kept my Protein Shakes and powders and they did taste good a few months out, but I couldn't stand sweet stuff for months after surgery. BTW, I love your name! :)

Same.

Lissa, what did you do? I can't stand the unjury Protein. Everything is sweet, Gatorade, Vitamin Water, chewable antacids, Iron, glucose tabs. I have to choke everything down. :(

Amytug, I drank chicken and beef broth. Lots and lots of broth. Buy low sodium, but I could not stand sweet anything for about six months post op. I've never really gotten into the whole Protein Shake thing..and I've tried. I have a couple of IRL sleeve friends who still do shakes at 2 years plus post-op, along with regular meals, but I cannot really get into them. I'll have a shake once or twice a month. I much prefer Protein Bars and have found that Premier Protein bars (30g of Protein per) make a great Breakfast for me. Protein bars are much more portable and don't have the aftertaste I get from shakes. If you're still on liquids/purees, Unjury makes a chicken Soup protein that I didn't mind. I just didn't want to buy a bunch of it for my liquid/puree stage because I'd already bought the others. I'm slowly using my Protein Powder up as additions to things like protein ice cream and Creamer for my coffee. In 18 months, I've bought 2 cases of the ready made Pure Protein Shakes from Sam's. Those are about the only prepared shakes I like. Everyone's taste is different and what works for me may not work for someone else, but this is why the veterans always say don't overbuy before surgery. :) Good luck.

I'm 10 days out and I feel exactly the way u do. I wasted so much money on shakes and Soups ,etc. I'm trying to get my Protein from pureeing chicken with a little mayo, or scramble egg with cheese, making real soupy oatmeal. I just eat very very slowly and take verv small bites. I do however get my Water in with the addition of using popcycles.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
