I am lap band post op 3 days and I cant stand the protien drinks I have tried everything out there they all taste bad to me and I get nauseated even to smell them I am able to hold soup down alright and other fluids water, tea, crystal light, sugar free kool aid. but my stomache is telling me I am hungry still I am really craving mashed almost soup like mashed potatoes(instant) kind any one have sugestions I am getting frustrated and its only day 3 HELP!!!!

Boost high protein is what I had to use. I had soupy mash potatoes at one week post op.

thanks I did find slim fast high protien and made a shake with 1% milk and it tasted good so I think I can get through the liquid part

Get a blender, mix your slimfast with other things, fruit (with out seeds) Peanut Butter, just make sure to blend it to very liquid. This is how I survived! Get creative, I came up with a taco soup, Tomato soup with a dash of taco seasoning, a teaspoon of FF sour cream and heat it up. A few days before I was to go to mushy, I added a pinch of FF cheese.

Good luck, it is worth making sure your stomach gets the healing time. I have read on here how people didnt wait adn it hurt and worse, they streached out their pouch!

Take your time and you will be happy, plus you will get your major weight loss right now. LOL
