Post op concerns- phase two foods

[Beachpalacetrain 1]

Hello fellow sleevers- need some advice and encouragement. I am two weeks post op and having a real hard time with the second phase foods. Soup, yogurt, and a soft boiled egg were “god sends” after being on clears for the first week. However, after “enjoying” some of those for the first few days, I now find myself having an aversion to all of them. Just the site and thought of Protein Shakes, yogurt, eggs and soup makes me nauseous. Even sipping Water, something that I always did prior to surgery, doesn’t interest me. Is this normal?? Have my taste buds gone through some transition along with the surgery? I’m staying the course and trying to consume at least 70-90 g of Protein, but it is real difficult!!!! any advice? Is this just temporary?? Will it all change once mushy foods are allowed? Yes, weight is coming off but it sucks in there process. Thanks for you help and advice.

I couldn't stomach many foods or smells in the first couple of weeks post-op. I even had some vertigo issues as well. It did go away over time. By week 4 I was in good shape. I am 12 weeks out now, and I am pretty much back to my normal.

I’m 2 weeks out tomorrow.... still only allowed broths, Protein Drinks, Jello, cream of wheat and mashed potatoes... it gets old, but I’m so grateful for this that I will suck it up another 2 weeks! I don’t want anything to go wrong... I’m trying to get all my Protein in, as well as water... I count ALL liquids! Down about 20... happy about that but I’m truly exhausted... to my core! This is legit, no joke exhaustion...,
