Im on the second phase of my revision from band to bypass surgery. Having trouble finding protein to accomodate the soft/mushy food phase...HELP!!!!

So you can tolerate sugar? How long ago did you have your surgery? Where can I find those crackers?

Yeah I haven't had any issues with sugar since the beginning. My surgery was 2/27/13.

My nutritionist recommended regular saltines during the soft stage, and chew til mushy.

I like hummus but I like them with bagel crisps, lol

You allowed bagel chips? You do ok with them?

My surgeon says no bread at all...I was a bit disappointed as I thought I could at least have toast.

Xx

Mine said the same. I tolerate pretzels now but don't eat bread at all. I don't even eat saltines any more.

I eat hummus with with a spoon. I like to chop jalapeños and mix them in. I love spicy! Sometimes I use Beanitos but they have rice flour in them and they make my insides gurgle. I can't eat rice or anything w/rice flour. I found some tortilla chips I tolerate well made from black Beans and quinoa. I can't eat more than 6-8 chips. Very tasty though...

Terry I'd love to know the brand of the tortilla chips!

Terry, me too

I haven't tried PB2, but you can find in on amazon, it's a powdered low fat peanut butter. It gets good reviews.

It's also at walmart.

There's only one place around here that carries PB2 and it's expensive. I usually just buy Skippy reduced fat peanut spread.

Walmart has it.

Walmart has it.

Mine doesn't, unfortunately. I check everywhere I go. I finally gave in and went to the nutrition store.

That sucks. I think it was $5. Keep checking, maybe they'll get it.

Try amazon?

Hi, anything milk, chocolate vanilla etc makes me gag or nauseous for hours. I like the 15 calorie minute maid light mango and passion fruit drink: 8 ounces with 2 scoops nectar unflavored Protein, mixed and frozen fir about 10 - 15 minutes until icee consistency. I can stomach this for Breakfast.

If I'm feeling okay, I purée a Dole's peach in juice cup, strain it and add it too. If i do I add a third scoop of protein.

I also like 4 ounces Water with orange Kool-aid liquid and a scoop of the unflavored protein. I also freeze until icee consistency.

I sip it, let the heat of my mouth warm it and "Tada"

Some like Isopure bottles. I liked them pre-op but after it's gross, my son drinks them after the gym.

Have you tried unsweetened almond milk? It's lactose free and it tastes great in Protein Drinks.

I liked it before surgery, unfortunately it doesn't taste good to me anymore either.I bought some of the Premier Protein shakes a few members have said they like...not for me, too think and creamy, makes me gag.At least I get to start soft foods on Tuesday, looking forward to bites of chicken instead of puréed.

Good question. I think it's on all out minds from time to time. My nut pounded it in my head also. I suggest the same things as others as far as baby bell cheese cottage cheese, refried beans and eggs beaters. I found Adkins bars the other day and thought they may be good but the reviews say no. I wasn't much help but wanted to thank you for posting the question.
