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!!!

Yes, the above post. I didn't meet my water or protein for the first 3 weeks. At all.

I didn't drink protein but had plenty of water

Hang in there it will pass, sip, sip, sip

I feel the same way right now Im 2 weeks out nd I don't know what to eat my pallet is totally disagreeing with what I eat. I don't know what to cook for myself I had tuna today for lunch and my stomach stated hurting it still hurts now, and now I just feel sad and was crying. I'm at that regret stage and only because I don't know what to eat please Help!!!!!

I think I am going to do liquids because not only my tastebuds off the smells of my protein shakes and any other smells make me sick to my stomach too. If I didnt knw any better I would think I was pregnant ...lol

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.
