I am one week post op and I cannot get any protien in. I have Unjury and Carnation Instant Breakfast. Pre-op I had no problem drinking the Carnations. Now sip by sip the flavor changes and by the 3rd swallow I can no longer stomach them. They just make me gag. Has anyone else experienced this? If so what did you do! I am at the point I am sick every morning. This is not what I was hoping this surgery was going to be like!

I did not have any protein the first 10 days. It's pretty common and my nutritionist was more concerned with me getting my fluids in. In order to feel a little better I would have apple juice 3 oz in the am and for lunch. Once I could have yogurts and puréed foods I was so much bettet

I also had apple juice for some calories for the first week. My doc insisted I water it down to half juice and half water to protect my new stomach from the acid.

I think it is fairly common. I am 3 weeks post op and I can only get one 11oz container of EAS Myoplex Lite down in a day and that takes about 3 hours. I am finally able to add cottage cheese today and I am hoping those little snack packs will help me get more Protein in.

One week post op, I could only get down 1/4 of the myoplex in a day so I do think it takes a little time. Hang in there!

I did drink a G2 this morning and that seemed to help boost me! Thanks for the replies! I just don't want to regret what I did!

The only way i can drink my protien shakes is if they are ice old. I found this shaker that i really love. As soon as i am done drinking my protien i wash it and put it back in the freezer. Its by cool gear here is the link http://www.coolgearinc.com/stay_fit_835.html

I couldn't do protein drinks post op either. They made me gag. I had to wait until I could have cottage cheese and refried beans and other solid forms of protien. I turned out ok!

I'm two days from a Month out I stop the Protein shakes last week I try my very best I get sick I can't drink them do u think being this early out I can get enough protein from eating this has been a fear of mind and try to explain to my nut but all she does is give me recipes to try but the problem I have us that nasty sweet taste all her recipes are for ppl who like sweets I never did what did you do early on to get the protein in ?

I guess I will not worry so much! I just hate feeling so run down! Thank You all!

Hi There Takingachance. I am also about a week out. My sleeve seems to like warm protein. I have warmed up EAS Carb Advantage (even though it tells you not to) and it tastes better to me. I also found some hot chocolate that I like online from New Life Bariatrics. They have a variety pack that is nice with a bunch of flavors in it. Good luck to you sleeve sister!

Best bets for high protien and mushy diet friendly are Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, egg salad, refried beans, and even a softer cheese like baby bel. I did a lot if the above for the first 2 months. I would let the babybel get kind of warm and then it is nice and soft and actually more flavorful. Melts in your mouth.

I was able to get in warm liquids easier than the shakes. The Unjury chicken Soup is a good source of Protein. Also I had some Bariwise Orangeade drinks to help me get protein in the first weeks out.

Good luck, it will get easier.
