Ariadne1234 2 Posted April 19, 2015 Hello All, I am 2 weeks and 2 days post op. My program introduced soft foods a week out. The first week was ok, but the last week food is just not appealing. I would rather drink Protein shakes.. Do you think this is a problem or routine part of the process? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
liannatx 897 Posted April 20, 2015 I think at this point the most important thing is getting in all your liquids and Protein. Check with your doctor or nut and see what they say. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aubrey222 45 Posted April 21, 2015 It's hard to eat things that don't appeal to you. As for me I prefer sugar free pudding to Protein Shakes any day lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ariadne1234 2 Posted April 21, 2015 Talked with my surgeon at my post op appointment today. .. he chuckled and said that's great! Isn't that the point? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
glitter eyes 1,398 Posted April 21, 2015 In the beginning nothing appealed to me either. food was disgusting and I only ate and drank to meet my nutritional goals. I even had to brush my teeth after eating or drinking Protein Shakes to get the taste out of my mouth. However, for most of us your taste comes back (sometimes differently) and your appetite will even out. I am almost 10 months post op and can tolerate almost any type of food and things taste more normal now... Some days that's not a good thing. Good luck.
