Having a lot problems keeping down yogurt and pretty much anything soft food. Protein shakes and Water stay down now why can't pureed foods. Anyone else have this problem. And anybody known from pucking can it hurt ur pouch. Sorry for been gross.

I've only had one day where I didn't throw up at all. My puréed are more like full liquids, because I won't keep it down without putting a lot of skim milk. Yogurt and pudding are the only things that go down without trouble. I'm starting to get a little discouraged because I'll be a month post-op on Tuesday.

Tomorrow make two weeks for me and I'm not hungry but my brain is telling me to eat. And that is driven me crazy. And I'm not loosing anything. Since my surgery only 25 pounds and that includes the 15 before surgery. I hope it gets better soon.

My usual protein shake is almond milk, banana, blueberry, whey protein powder, flax seeds, cinnamon & nutmeg

@Jhoney. I know what you mean. I lost 17 lbs the week after surgery and this week only 1 lb so far. Ugh. I was sleeved on the 12th.

I known it feels like nothing happen plus doesn't help I'm inpatient either. And on top of that I have to call my doc tomorrow cause one of my open cuts are infected. I just ate some greek yogurt and some peanut butter for protein. I didn't have much but maybe 3 oz and I'm full and feel it in my throat. My stomach making crazy sounds as well. I'm so hoping this stay down cause I'm so over been sick and everything coming up.

Sorry, don't mean to get too personal, but is the flax seed keeping you regular?

Have you tried pureeing a nice hearty homemade soup? I'm still post-op- can we have pureed veggies or for example, minestrone soup (no pasta), pureed while on this stage? I bought Unjury unflavored whey protein and it suggests adding it to soups and fruit flavored Crystal light. Has anyone tried soups w/ protein powder during purée stage?

I use the Unjury unflavored in soups during puree stage. The key is to make sure you don't heat it above or add it to anything above 140 degrees or it gets lumpy.
