I know what you mean the Protein is horrible. I've tried the protein shots' date=' the high Protein Drinks, protein pre made shakes all of it taste bad. I get very little protein in and im

trying. I don't know what to do.[/quote']

I went to the GNC store an git the whey Protein Powder (no flavor ) an put the powder in a fruit smoothie in the morning. It barely has any taste an is tollerable. I go to costco an get real frozen strawberries n pineapple chunks an use Water instead of milk so its not real creamy an that's been working well. Even my husband drinks em with me every morning. I can attach a picture of the protein in interested.

I am not supposed to have bread' date=' rice, or Pasta until 6mos either, not because they are carbs, but because they are often not tolerated.[/quote']

Same here. It stalls weight loss also

You should be able to have everything' date=' moderation is the whole point of any bariatric surgery. I have Pasta most days I'm 6 weeks post op. I've lost 3 stone (42lb) 4 stone to go

.I serve every meal in a little ramakin with two table spoons of food in. We need to have a balanced diet and gain control of our mind. Refined sugar isn't on our menu, but a LITTLE pasta with fish, meat and sauce....no worries. The hardest part of this whole process is learning how to eat again but eating right! Xx[/quote']

I'm just trying to listen to my surgent. I'm so confused in what I can an can't eat.. its so hard to go shopping.. I have another appointment Monday so hopefully ill get more info

I was told no pastas no bread until goal weight. pastas and breads have carbs in them that turn to sugar during digestion.

I was told no types of bread or Pasta for 6months at least.. I don't dare try anything my surgent told me not to.. what's the point of this surgery if were just gonna eat the same fatty foods..

I love pickles too!!! I had a small piece but I just sucked on it I was scared to swallow like you I didn't want to upset my stomach. I'm only a little over two weeks out but I think I'll really try it after the 1st month that's when I can start raw veggies so I think it will be safe then.

I tried a stacker pickles (the thin sandwhich pickles) an that seemed to do fine

Welcome we gotta stick together and if u have any ideas plz let me know

So far canned fruit, no sugar added an in Water has been great

No its already mixed it comes in a box and says oatmeal with bananas all u do it warm sum Water or milk and mix it together

I'll see if I can find it here thank u:)

Sarah' date=' I have had kosher pickles. Yummy!![/quote']

How far out are u!? I LOVE pickles lol I just don't wanna do anything to upset my pouch lol

Had anyone tried pickles or banana wax peppers.. it know when we can eat em!?

Im pretty much going thru all the same things ur going thru and we had our surgery the same day i agree with cold drinks they have to be ice cold if they get warm i dobt want it ya i too dont think im eating enough i found wat helps me with coating my tummy may not taste all that. Baby oatmeal with bananas after i finsh it my tummy feels good like its coated

Hmm I'm going to have to try that. Baby food bananas it regular bananas

Thank u:) I think I'm going to wait till next week to start thicker foods. The mashed potatoes are the only thing that agrees with me. I need to find a diff Vitamin because the Vitamins my surgent sold me I have to take three times a day so there's no getting around it I'm sick all day :'( I have no energy I can only drink freezing cold drinks so I'm constantly switching out my drink when it gets to warm. I just same somthing solid already. I feel like I'm doing everything I'm suppose to do an still not getting strength an I'm do exhausted all the time :'/ I'm def pushing myself an doing what my stomach/body is telling me!!

Everyone path to healing after surgery is very different. I could not for the first month as well. Are you nauseated at all? My doctor gave me carafate to help coat my stomach and I did a little better after that. Try oatmeal w/ sugar free sweetener.

Sent from my iPhone using RNYTalk

I have only gotten nauseated twice sense surgery. I'll try the oatmeal thank u:)

Surgery 10-25-12

I'm on my third week, first week all I could handle was popsicles an flavored water.. second week all I could handle was unsweetened Apple sauce an organic kids on the go yogurts an flavored water.. third week now suppose to try eat mashed potatoes which I've tried an they seemed to do okay an boiled eggs which didn't go well an refried Beans smashed which my stomach didn't like after the first tiny bite :'( I'm do drained all the time cuz I'm not getting anything solid in me an my Vitamins make me sick.

Has anyone ever tried popcorn?

I'm wondering the same lol but I don't think ill eat anyway cuz I only like kettle corn or popcorn with butter.

Lmao so sad but we gotta do wat we gotta do lol

Exactly lol

I watch all my shows on Hula' date=' Netflix or my iPad apps....there are commercials but none of the "bad"foods commercials.....I do this because one of the things that would trigger me to eat per RNY were the commercials...I don't have cravings yet but I don't want to take a chance so this is what I do...also my husband is very supportive and has started eating healthy too![/quote']

My husband is trying to be supportive but he can only eat what we already have. Were newly errs still trying to get on our feet an as everyone knows its expensive to eat healthy so i give him some credit for choices he makes. The next time we go grocery shopping tho ill be able to actually eat so ill be buying things so he will have no choice lol

That happened to me as well. And oh my you never realize the commercials until you can't have it

Oh Yah ugh my brother lives with is an he is always coming home with bomb food :'( I've been watching movies so I don't have to deal with commercials Lmao

Same here i havent had the full feeling but seeing all the food commercials and driving by all the food places gets me kinda frustrated then when my fam orders pizza kills me

My husband had popcorn chicken today from KFC :'( one of my favs. All my dreams consist of food now an cheating on my diet which is making my head hunger even worse

Yay congrats to the next level I'm feeling good I still it's going to be a definite adjustment I'm really trying to work hard to change my mindset hopefully when I'm eating food it will get easier and ill actually have a variety

Thank u:) I'm glad you're doing better. That's the way I'm thinking. But at the same time I'm so afraid to try new foods, I don't want to get sick.
