At this stage just make sure you are getting in your liquids. The last thing you want to get is dehydrated. Get a kids sippy cup and just keep sipping all day long.

As for the Protein remember that a Protein shake counts for liquid and Protein. Just keep trying more and more things and you will find something that tastes good.

Trust me this phase passes and things will work out. I am sure you will soon have regret if you have joy already. It is normal to go through this and it will pass.

Hang in there!!!

I can't stand the smell of Protein Shakes. I tried Protein Shots thinking they would be easy to get my Protein in, but I was wrong they are worse, they r way to thick, not even freezing them worked may I say (yuck) I'm still struggling with protein shakes. But something's got to work.

I am eating cream of chicken Soup, strained, mixed with one scoop of unflavored Protein powder. It doesn't change the taste at all. You just have to heat the Soup up (but not too hot or the powder will clump) then whisk in the powder. It adds 25gr protein. I've done this with Tomato and roasted red pepper soup, too. You can also mix some choc Protein Powder into Jello sf choc pudding. That's another one that doesn't taste different, although it makes it a little less thick.

Terry.. I did the same thing... cream of Soup and just added powder to it. You have to try and get as much Protein as you can right now... your body needs it to heal!!!!

I still don't get in enough Protein or Water. shakes make me vomit...so nasty! I switched to Water w/minerals and have been able to choke down 3 bottles a day. It's hard being pregnant with RNY. Taste buds are off so bad.

Are u drinking Protein now or u just never did???

I am suppprt to but bec my tastebuds and my nose is so sensitive to the smell I cant get it down anymore. I tried many flavors and just got the unflavor today but it smell so bad. I am going to try it with the cream Soup. Before I was able to just chug the shake down in 5-6 swallows .You knw I cant do that now.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
