So, I am technically in the soft foods stage and suppose to be working my water up from 30-40 to 64. I'm also supposed to be working on getting my protein up between 60 and 70 but everytime I try something new I just can't stand it. I'm not getting sick from food but the only thing that isn't making me want to swear off eating are sugar free bomb pops. I managed to get down a protein shake today so yeah 30g protein but I just can't seem to get down solid foods. I called the doc and he said I had an ulcer... I don't believe him because when I do manage to eat and drink things more then a sip an hour I don't feel nauseous. I am pretty sure the nausea I was experiencing was low blood sugar/hunger. So suggestions on how to get soft solids down?

Immediately after bariatric surgery, the important requirements are Protein, fluids and Vitamins. food is secondary because your body is converting stored fats into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight. So focus on protein. In the beginning the only option is Protein shakes. Later as time goes on you will be able to eat Protein Bars to supplement your protein requirement. There are a variety of protein shakes on the market today. Experiment until you can find one you can tolerate. I used Muscle Milk Light (vanilla Creme) powder. I would mix the powder with Water using a Ninja single serve blender cup and blend in a half a banana to make it more palatable. That is what worked for me but there are so many options available, so give them a try.
