I had gastric bypass surgery April 9.

I'm kinda lost. I can't drink enough or get enough protein. I'm always so full. Is this normal?

Probably should have introduced myself. My name is Rebecca.

I drank Premier Protein Shakes. 3 a day. 30 grams of protein in each one. Try to drink water Sip don't gulp. Your stomach is small now. It gets better. Hang in there

Thanks! A lot of people have suggested premiere protein. I will have to get some.

I'm 4 months post op & have lost 100 lbs. This has been the hardest thing I've ever tried to do. It's a lot easier now. Walking everyday & working out at the gym. Have another 100 to lose

I wish I had known about a forum like this when I was starting out. It would've been easier

I'm glad I found it. It makes me feel better reading people questions and responses. I'm starting to see the light at the end of the tunnel. I had a lot of regret for a couple of days. I was so miserable with nausea. I'm feel a lot better. I can't drink the protein drinks. I'm on purées so I'm get protein from my diet. I still don't know what I'm allowed to eat. So far I eat refried beans (fat free), Greek yogurt, chili, and pudding. I really want to try other things.

I have tried everything to get the protein shakes in. I feel like I'm going to vomit every time I try to drink one. I three different kinds, isopure, inspire, and carnation instant breakfast (no sugar added).

Don't think I'd eat chili yet. You're prob still on soft foods. Soup, scrambled eggs, grits, mashed potatoes. Pudding. It's been a while I 've forgotten most of it. My nutritionist laid out my menu & I followed it

Believe it or not my surgeon suggested chili. She said it usually well tolerated.

I wasn't given a list of approved foods. I just stay away from sugar and start. There's 6 grams of fat in chili, and 17g of protein. I get a small chili from Wendy's and blend it.

I guess everybody is different. Chili made me sick. Somethings you might not be able to eat now but will be able to later

Try isopure drinks crush it with ice...yum taste like a slushy....that's the only protein drink I can stomach

Ok. I will try it tomorrow.

We are all different. Chili is my favorite right now. I wish I could try something else. I don't know where to start.

I will go get my old menus

Thanks! That would be great!
