I had my check up today. All is well. I've, since my surgery on March 21st, 2016, have lost 20 lbs. So far so good. She approved me for soy foods. I tried a little bit they're making me feel nauteous. How do you fight beyond that in order to start eating food? I feel better with Water but I cannot live in that alone. I tried to drink a Premier Protein drink on yesterday but it made me nauteous as well. Any suggestions or advice? **PLEASE RESPOND!!**

keep trying different Protein Shakes, its very tough in the early stages to find things you like and can tolerate. for me it was vanilla premiere shakes it had to be ice cold. now i cant stand vanilla and prefer the chocolate. again the colder the better. i also like cottage cheese and its packed with Protein. i am 4 months out and can tolerate pretty much anything. i couldnt say that at 1 month out. its trial and error in the beginning. good luck

On The Fence 2- Thanks for that. This really helps. This is my first day eating food. I will take it really slow right now. I REALLY have to get the hang of it. It feels like everything I try to eat stops mid-point between my chest. I hope that stops.

Have you tried cream of wheat or items that type of texture. I like Syntrax nector Protein Drinks. They taste like crystal light rather than milk. They are 100% Protein with no carbs or fat. I do like them (and all liquids) really cold. I mix them and then keep them in the fridge for a few hours.

I had my 3 month post op today, all is good. I can tell you the food/drink you can't tolerate this week may be ok in a few weeks. My doctors have a gradual week by week diet of foods to add back, and it all seemed to be very gradual increases in texture and thickness.

I didn't think I would like cottage cheese (name and texture thing) but its not bad and was way easy on my stomach. I actually ate it as a kid, but stopped until after my sleeve.

Agree that trying different Protein shakes is key but don't write them off totally if you can't hold one down now. The premier shakes are huge Protein boosts and worth sampling later, or breaking up through a day to get your protein. I was always ok with that brand so I haven't tried to many others
