I'm almost 3 weeks out from my bypass surgery, right now the only thing that doesn't make me sick to my stomach is cottage cheese and orange juice mixed with water. I want more options for getting my protein in, the shakes are starting to make me sick. Tried chicken salad with light miracle whip and was sick for two days. Any other suggestions?

i was told no oj because of the acid, maybe that is making your tummy unhappy

Have u tried yogurt? Greek yogurt? Tuna?

I don't like yogurt and I'm allergic to fish. My mom keeps telling me about stopping the oj and now it's making me itch like crazy so i know i have to stop it asap unless I want to suffer more. I'm a juice freak, i bought packs of kool-aid mix and sone liquid stevia. Haven't tried it yet though, just been drinking water when not drinking the oj mix.

get the surar-free koolaid or wyler's is real good too and crystal light. so many varieties. i loved water before surgery but now it just doesn't work for me.

Crystal light is the best

I wasn't a yogurt fan pre-op but I tried yoplait Greek 100 post-op in order to have something to mix my crushed ursoforte in and it tasted pretty good. Ive now had oikos and like that too. Its also good frozen for a treat. I had a very hard time with water. Crystal light helped and so did the sf koolaid. I also make decaff tea in my keurig and add some lemon and splenda and lots of ice and that helped me get my liquid in. Vitamin water zero is also good. I ususally don't care for flavored water but those are naturally flavored and taste pretty good.

a definite on crystal light. I have been drinking it daily since banding seven years ago, I just can't stand plain water.

If you like cottage cheese, maybe adding some unflavored protein powder would kick it up a notch as far as protein goes. more bang for your buck. Unjury makes a good one, you order it online. Snythrax also has a medical unflavored that I put in everything and can't taste it at all.

As far as the yogurt goes, I have been getting the carb master from kroger, or maybe ralphs in your area, and I get the vanilla and add about a tablespoon of sugar free pudding mix, like banana or my favorite right now is pistachio, and a scoop of the unflavored protein powder stir it up or blend it a blender and it is so yummy. Now I am saying this as a pre op. I may be eating these words after RNY surgery. But I hope it works for you.

Wishing you all the best,

Good ideas, thanks all! I like the way Chrystal light taste but it always makes me terribly sick, most anything with artificial sweeteners don't agree with me-not sure why. Stevia I can somewhat tolerate.

Has anyone ever tried those Arctic Zero ice creams? Supposedly 5g of sugar 150 Cal per pint and 14g of whey protein....I bought the vanilla but haven't tried it yet.
