I thinned the Beans with enchilada sauce as recommended by another poster - it worked great!!

DEFINITELY ordering a sample. Is it creamy or more like clear liquid??

I had the same problem. I couldn't drink my Protein shakes almost immediately after surgery. I still can't drink milk, eat yogurt or very much cheese. I also cannot stand mayo anymore. About 3 weeks after my sleeve, I developed gallstones and I thought that once my gall bladder came out at 8 weeks post-op that these things would improve. I am now 4 month out and still on the same road. Maybe in a month or so I will try again.

The sleeve amazingly changes many things for all of us. I had a hard time on soft-foods too. There weren't many choices. Mushies does get better. Now I still avoid the foods mentioned above and also red meat as it doesn't sit too well on my tummy. From what I have learned, we are all different and some of us are able to introduce foods quicker than others.

OH, let your doctor know. Maybe they can prescribe Nexium or Prilosec. It might help. It did help me some.

The Syntrax nectar is like fruit juice. It's not thick and heavy like other Protein drinks. Since this one is mixed with Water, it's thin and actually refreshing! I love drinking it on a hot day! I usually drink mine after a workout and it's really great.

I'm very anxious to see my doctor tomorrow! I'm on Zofran for the nausea and Pepsid (or something of the like- prescribed) but it's just not working. I was really good at 4wks and was able to eat fairly well then I got a serious cold and regressed. Ever since then I've been battling this nausea! It's terrible. I'm only able to eat soup! Anything I have to chew makes me wanna vomit. Even the sight of food sometimes makes my stomach upset.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
