[Phosphate 10]

I had gastric bypass on July 7. I drank a protien shake on July 6th. It's July 10. I feel so nauseated I can't even eat nor think about eating. I managed to get 1 1/2 sugar free pre made Jello cups down. 4 days and only ate 1 1/2 cups. Is this normal. I tried to drink a Water down Protein Shake but it made me vomit. Will I get be able to get my appetite back?

Have you tried sugar free Popsicles? I lived off them for a few weeks. Also if cold liquids don't work for you try some tea. I would reach out to your Dr's office as well they will have good advice for you. I have called my Dr's nurse line more than a few times

It seems like you are trying to consume too much at one time. I had my surgery May 27 and am still only able to consume 2 ounces of any type of food like Jello, pudding, yogurt... You have to remember you just had surgery and it takes time. My first week out I was so bad that I dehydrated myself, so my nutritionist had me focus on only fluids for three days and then work back in the Protein. I finally on the advice of another person got Fairlife milk, which has 13 g of protein, mixed it with my 1/2 scoop of my Protein Powder, which gave me 32 g of protein and 8 ounces of liquid. Three of those gave me sufficient protein and 1/2 of my liquid consumption. I also cannot seem to drink anything cold, other than my milk, room temp seems to be the best and Water is the hardest for me to get down.
