CarolineLittle I am so sorry, and I can relate. Just the nauseas feeling no actual vomiting. I pray we get better soon

Don’t feel nauseous either it just comes up and I feel so much better

Miss sunshine p sounds a bit like frothing to me. Look it up I think there are tips on how to deal with it

I’m sure that’s what it is. And I will continue to research it but it’s no fun that’s for sure

I can agree all I want to do is lay down. And I get tired pretty quickly. I’m only 4 days post-op and I’m tired of the broths and shakes. I have another week before I’m cleared for soft foods. I still have chest pains but I think I’m going good.

Good luck to you all!

I have unflavored Protein Powder 30 gr Protein and clear berry flavored Premier Protein drink. Considering mixing 1 scoop unflavored with the clear then dividing it between 4 20 oz containers of Water to dilute the taste of the berry flavor. That should help meet my liquid and protein goals. If I can handle it

Everything tastes gross. Two days till I’m out of the liquids phase and into the soft foods phase. I’ve already tried refried Beans and eggs and frankly they were not good at all. I’m not sure what’s wrong with me lol. This whole time all I’ve been craving is beans and eggs and now I’m just sad. All I want is a salad. Time couldn’t be going slower.

It's not just you. I had a hard time finding foods and Protein that tasted good. It's a process for sure.

I haven't had tuna yet. I did make the infamous ricotta bake. It was pretty tasty.

I heard that ricotta bake was so good but how soon after surgery can you have that because they haven’t said anything about that yet in my list of foods…I’m 3 weeks post op tomorrow gastric bypass surgery May 3rd

I had mind during the puree stage. You just need to make sure you puree the sauce if needed. The mozzarella cheese on top was a no go once it started setting up.
