I have the same issue. Pre OP, I was told to try different brands of protein shakes to make sure I find a brand/flavor I like especially since I'll be stuck drinking it. Well now, I can't stand any of the flavors I got. My favorite sweets are anything chocolate, and now I hate them. You are lucky your doctor's program has a puree stage. My program is 28 days post-op of full liquids and starting slow but I'll be able to eat normally again minus raw vegetables of course for I believe another month. Only 10 more days to go! Lol As for feeling full, I am now able to drink more water than a week ago. Instead of sips, I can drink more. When eating/drinking my soups. I eat until I feel a little pain ( only 2-4 spoon full ) and I know I'm full. Remember with a new tummy you have to now basically train yourself to know you are full. I would take a spoonful and maybe wait a min until the next intake. Congrats btw on this new journey!!!

Hello, I'm about 3 weeks post-op, last week did great with little pain but today I woke up with a super sharp stinging pain from one of my incisions. Really hate to end up at the er during Easter or call my doctor if it's nothing. Has anyone else gone through this? It only hurts when I'm up and walking but not as much when laying down.
