Having trouble finding things to eat. I am 6 wks post op sleeve. Protein Shakes only thing that taste and sound good. Sometimes I can eat some cottage cheese but most everything nauseates me. Any suggestions?

Where in Colorado? I am here too. Are you going to your follow up appointments? Your practice should have support groups and a nutritionist to help you. Did you have a diet plan you followed for the first 6 weeks?

Yes I had a diet plan. Followed it. Yes I have gone to my f/u appt. Went to nut, have a dr app in a couple of weeks. I am in Pueblo West. I don't even get any pleasure in grocery shopping. I read labels a lot, look at sugars and carbs, fat content. I can't believe all the junk I use to eat. I have tried some things but they don't even taste good anymore. I will email my nut to see if she has any suggestions. Thanks for your assistance.
What part of Colorado you in? What surgery and when?

Good morning! I am near Boulder so not very close unfortunately :( I had the sleeve on January 15 so we are pretty close together! It is definitely very hard when your tastes have changed so much! But wonderful too! At six week (in my practice) we are permitted to try any foods we want, but eat dense Protein first. Chili is a great protein source. Do you have an unflavored protein that you can add to your foods that you already like? Canned chicken and tuna are great-have you tried those? What about eggs? I survived on deviled eggs for quite a while! I have eaten a lot of lunchneat wrapped around string cheese. My recent (and favorite) and favorite addition has been rotesserie chicken leg (half of it) and roasted veggies.

I hope any of this helps! Did you diet wean you onto solids? Is your sleeve not handling food well or is your new palate just not liking anything?

message me if you want to chat more in with!

hugs!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
