Hi everyone! Monday 3/19/12 I will be 2 weeks post-op! I don't go for my 2 week check up till Wednesday and I am having the hardest time keeping down the Isopure chocolate protein shake and to top it off the chewbale vitamins are making me gag as well... Does anyone have any ideas for a different food besides the shakes and broths?? And any idea on a descent calcium and multivitamin?? Thank you all for sharing and caring! It is a great asset to be able to come to this site and get advice,recipes, and actual stories! Good health to all and happy wieght loss....

By week two I was eating lots of Greek yogurt (no fruit). It's very high in protein. Instant mashed potatoes, sugar free pudding, and skim milk with nestlé breakfast drinks. What kind of bariatric vitamin are you taking? Optisource is really good. Citrus flavored. You can get it at Walgreens. Good luck!

Another thing....it gets better! I am 5 weeks post-op and I feel great. I can eat a lot of things as long as I chew them very good! 32 times lol

Hi- I have been taking the Celebrate chewable vitamins! They are so tart and I can't handle them anymore... Thanks for the help...

Do you recommend cottage cheese or string cheese...? Definitely not getting enough protein in...

I'm so happy things are going great for you... I feel good and have a lot more energy after only 2 weeks out just have to get the hang of the new taste buds,lol...

Cottage cheese definatly if you like it. I do not like it at all. It's very hard to get the protein in. My nutritionist recommended unflavored protein powder added to foods or nonfat dry milk added to foods.

Hi there! I've been eating lentil soup, I blended tomatoes, garlic and little bit of onion and added it to the lentils, the broth tasted really good. When I began my third week, I blended the lentils and added a little bit of cheese and they taste great! I also made beans and drank the broth. As far as vitamins the chewable make me gag so I bought gummy bears (for adults). Yogurt is awesome and also queso fresco (fresh cheese) it has same protein as cottage cheese but to me it tastes better. Good luck!
