I'm about 50days post op now and I can't eat any of the Protein shakes they make me so sick and its such a horrid feeling! powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury makes me nauseated and gives me diarrhea so bad that I just don't use it. I was prior to surgery eating Protein packaged items like Soup, drinks, etc and I've tried one here and there and OMG so sick!

I have tried bunches of different foods at this point it's incredibly tasking. Thankfully my doctor though he thinks I am an anomoly is patient and understanding.

I tried roast beef slices and it made be nauseated. We were making Snacks and such to go to the park. So I was took some of the roast beef and rolled it in a tortilla with cheese and sour cream and we baked them in foil rolls. When cooled to take to park. I ate a few bites and it was totally fine!

I tried baked and or slow cooked meat of all kinds and yep nauseated. I can however eat chicken nuggets and fries no problem. I can even eat cake. I have also been able to eat bread. Granted all the above in very limited quanities.

What I have discovered is that apparently no one can be put into a mold and the answer be apparent. I think I have an affliction for the prepared high protein items now I'm not surprised as I'm not real big on processed before surgery.

The unhealthy things I was able to eat my doctor thinks its the oil perhaps that is coating it that helps it all go down. Thankfully I'm pretty responsible so beyond having an absolutely incredible fustrating day I opt for something on the no no list.

Otherwise I discovered couscous works amazing! It's soft and goes down very easily. Cottage cheese is also working pretty good. I have been drinking bean Soup and eating hummus and bean chips. I also discovered pistachios they are softer and do well.

I was and have been very discouraged about not being able to eat the Protein Drinks and I've tried almost all kinds it seems the lower in sugar the worse my nausea. I have surrendered to them and have opted to try and find the protein elsewhere.

When nothing will work my best friend is cheerios and high protein milk! My doctor thought that was increidble!

I hope that helps a bit? I know when I discovered those expensive bottles of protein I bought weren't going to work I all but sat in the corner and cried. It's hard times!

At sixteen days what about cottage cheese? or mashed potatos I ate alot of until I reached near 3weeks.

I also have intolerance to Protein Shakes - whey Protein isolate. My NUT think it's because the protein is in such pure form it is so readily absorbed it actually irritates the lining of my intestines. I am going to but soy protein and going to check out some other health food stores. There are other protein sources such as an all vegetable alternative I saw at wlagreens yesterday and some from fermented brown rice. Lets keep searching. I am also considering taking my protein in very small doses throughout the day. A tablespoon at a time. Perhaps my body can tolerate it in small amounts mixed with other food/drinks. Worth trying.

Couscous is a form of Pasta, so it would be made with wheat and not have much besides carbs for calories. It can be combined with lots of good stuff, but the couscous itself is basically a tiny noodle.

How about scrambled eggs? I make mine with cheese and the tiniest bit of salsa for flavor.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
