Something doesn't taste right...

Hi all!

I underwent VSG last Monday 4.24 and all went well.

Stats:

Height 5'5"

HW: 246.8

SW: 235

CW: 223

Goal: 140

My question, ever since Sunday, nothing is appealing. The thought of broth makes me nauseous. Every time I drink my protein drinks, I almost instantly have to run to the restroom. I also have this weird taste in my mouth and nothing I can have during this phase seems

appealing. Help!! How can I get my protein in??? I went to the store and bought diff types of protein drinks, maybe a diff brand will help. I was drinking Premier Protein.

It is probably that nickle taste you can get with ketosis.

Try drinking more water.

Yep, it is likely ketosis, which is from your diet being overly low in carbohydrates at the moment - not an uncommon thing this early out when our diets are little more than protein. It will resolve as your diet improves over time.

I find the Vitaelph the best, not so much for taste, but they have so much protein , you can mix it with 3 oz's of water ... and you got 18g of protein , only 80 calories and low everything , It's made for WLS Patients.

The best tasting protein powder I have tasted is trutein, my favorite flavors are strawberry cheesecake and red velvet.
