Hi my surgery is on Friday October 26th but I wanted to share this stuff I bought that you can add to your Protein Drink its sugar free and calorie free. I got it from TJMAXX only 4$ they have different flavors hopefully it helps with the taste for some of you guys.

You also can get Torani sugar free syrups at Walmart, Krigers and most major grocers, and probably on Amazon Even though I go to Bariatric Pal Store for most of my needs. Price is good, delivery phenomenal ' And the stuff is A#1 Every time..

Have faith! I was reading this too, and when I popped on this morning after five days, there went three pounds! We just have to get over those bumps in the road.

Hit my first stall. Thanks for the above article..it was very helpful!

When I was allowed to eat egg I hard boiled it and added some non-fat Greek yogurt to make an egg salad kind of thing. Just mash it up well and chew, chew and then chew again.
I'm struggling with Water and Protein too 4 weeks out. I'm managing about 1 litre but I'm just not hungry so having a hard time with the protein thing. I cannot get past the gag reflex with Protein Shakes so that's out. However my partner's ex-wife (we're friends and she's 8 weeks ahead of me with RNY -even the same surgeon!) gave me some pure unflavoured non-gluggy Gelatin based protein that I've been adding to my supper, so that has to be helping. It's called Peptipro gelatin. It's from Australia so I'm not sure if they deliver to the US but you should be able to find something similar online.

I've just ordered some Peptipro...hopefully it is ok. Thanks for the tip!

Started my journey at 263lbs then on sept 24,2018 @250lbs I had my sleeve surgery done now one month later oct 24 I’m 215lbs I will say this was very hard and this recovery still going can’t wait to start the gym next week and trying food again is hard but I’m so much closer to my first goal now then trying to diet before the surgery I keep my scale close and having kids doesn’t make it any easier they always wants Snacks but my determination to stay on track and continue with me getting and being healthy is at 100% no looking back to the old me ever again

I'd be really interested in what your doctor says

So dr on Tuesday he says for now only do two oz of anything at a time and he is watching my gallbladder. Says some of the recent pain from eating could be that. So we will see😏

[Frustr8 7,886]

Cindih576, my nurse Practioner told me I could up to 6 oz at a time, told her "you don't know Precious Pouch very well, I tried to drink 6 oz- I was in misery for over a hour, thought I had popped something until the pain left. I will keep on with 4 oz if it is All The Same!" She conceded that was OK,better cause I'm not into misery. I have enough of that with the stricture! Tomorrow maybe Dr Noria 😷will make me all better!

Ok, I'm now 30 days post op and have completely lost the will to eat anything. This morning while I was looking for what to take to work every option just made me feel ill. I'm forcing down my daily All Bran (30 g) with milk but only because if I don't eat it every day I'll get bunged up and that's horrible. I know I'll get malnourished if I don't eat, but there is nothing that I see that I actually can face eating. The thought of an egg makes me gag, the chicken breast I tried last night made me nauseous, the tuna with mayo yesterday lunch made me nauseous, sweet potato (my favourite thing!) just tasted horrible. I don't know what to do....Any ideas anyone?

Oh, and my weight loss has stalled. For the last week I have stayed within 100 g. 97.4, 97.3, 97.4

I can eat 5.5 oz of yogurt without any issues. I can drink at least one or two Protein Shakes a day and I am trying to drink my Water. I am still having trouble introducing more solid foods. I have been successful with one or two pieces of canned vegetables.

[planochick 22]

tuna, egg salad and scrambled eggs are going great for me. Had chili this week too.

[lzucks 232]

@MMME have you tried Soup? It’s been one of my go-to foods. Easier to get down than solids.

I’m feeling a lot like you. So far the ONLY things I can eat besides liquids like chicken broth is refried Beans, yogurt and cottage cheese. I tried cod the other night and it felt horrible. Tried chicken that made me nauseous. This is getting harder. 🙄. I am sticking to liquids and blended for now

I haven't yet but I have a recipe for a Soup that I love so I'll make a pot of that tonight. I simply have no interest in eating anything

I might try going back to blended and liquids again for a few days to see if that sparks an interest in food.

It's just really odd to me, that for over 40 years I've been addicted to food but it's like I'm not only cured of the addiction but the "drug" I used to love repulses me now. I'm sure it's just a phase, but I really don't want to make myself ill by not eating anything. So... soup, yogurt and some I'll try some Beans.

Thanks very much for your suggestions. My partner tries to help but he just doesn't get the fact that my tastebuds have changed so dramatically in the past month that everything tastes bad. I'm even off coffee!

I am going to make some chicken noodle Soup with canned veggies and baby Pasta and lots of seasoning in it so I can freeze it. I start back to work on Wednesday and I have to have stuff I want to eat there.
