Hi I am new to this I am still trying to learn how to eat and what to eat having problems with protein shakes have any ideas

Hi there Linda Hayes...so it looks like you had your surgery last month sometime. you said you are having problems with the protein shakes, can you explain that better? are you eating any soft foods yet? I am not really sure about answers for someone with gastric sleeve surgery...but I think you all follow about the same as us banders. I know the shakes get really boring after awhile...I actually find adding frozen fruits and coffee to mine make them a bit better change. I did a google search and found a site that had ideas of what to put in them...they were actually beneficial to my tastebuds anyways. as for foods...I stayed with soft foods for weeks 3-6...fish baked, soft veggies, soups and stuff like that. when I went onto solids I tried everything I ate before, healthier versions though and took my time...I was having trouble slowing down, no matter what folks told me, so I am going to try this app today...wait 1 full minute in-between eat bit. If you need anything else please let me know, and Congrats on your new WL journey!!! take care!!!

YEAH I DID SO GOOD WITH THAT APP AT LUNCH TODAY...SO NEEDED THAT FOR SURE!!!

I just downloaded it...will give it a try and hope it helps.

Be4Tim you are doing awesome!!! I know I tried this today at lunch it worked so well can't wait to use it all the time.
