That's really good! I tried another protein shake, but my stomach just didn't agree with me even trying. My nutritionist told me to try some fat free yogurt, that my stomach may not be ready for all that protein. I did just fine with the yogurt. It took me a long time to eat the whole thing, but it didn't make me feel sick! Hopefully this will continue to get easier!

I had my surgery on 04/04. Yesterday was the first day that I could start my full liquid diet. I tried to drink a Protein shake, however it did not go well. I drank about 2 oz in about 30 min, then another 2 oz in an hour. It was super hard to drink it, because it was just turning my stomach upside down with just the smell! Later on in the afternoon I tried to drink another one. I managed to get about 1-2 oz down, before feeling really sick. I didn't drink enough for my pouch to be "full". I actually ended up going in the bathroom and gagging several times. I decided no more Protein Shake for me! I e-mailed my nutritionist who told me that my stomach may not be healed enough to start the Protein shakes. She told me to try some non-fat yogurts today and see how I do with them. Have any of you had any similar experiences??
