1 full week tomorrow and I feel great. I could probably return to work (at home desk job) tomorrow but I’m going to take another week.

I am getting in plenty of fluids, no problem. I can drink 2 Promeir Protein shakes over the day but then I’m done. I’m getting 60 grams in but feel like I could get more but I’m so over the shakes. I have a texture thing… so things that don’t taste how they normally do because they are thinned with milk seem gross to me.

Should I just stick it out or should I try to mix it up to get more protein in? I see Dr. on Tuesday.

You are doing great! I had RNY on 3/3 and I couldn’t drink water period without pain or a nasty taste ( thrush) until the swelling went down week 6

Have you tried protein hot cocoa? I found that warm liquids went down more easily than cold. If you make it with Fairlife milk instead of water, it has about as much protein as a shake. I love the BariatricPal brand hot cocoa packets, and you can also buy protein hot cocoa on Amazon (the ProtiDiet brand in a big canister is cheaper per serving).

Great idea! I will try that tonight.

Talk to your doctor about how to personalize your food intake. I used brewed cacao and drinking three a day is actually enjoyable for me. They taste so good. With a little flavored creamer and unsweetend almond milk. I am down 23lbs my first week. I hope to match that next week when I can get into soft solids.

Do you drink Crio Bru? I LOVE that stuff! I add a little almond milk and some sugar-free flavored syrup and it's delicious. It's also really good for adding protein shakes. I used to add a couple of ounces of protein shake to my Crio Bru (I don't need to do that anymore because I can get enough protein from food now).

Never heard of this! I just looked it up and looks amazing.
