i experienced the same thing as you. i enjoyed protein shakes pre-op, but post-op is a whole other story. i couldn't stand the taste or smell of protein drinks. i thought it was the milky taste that was getting to me so i went to gnc and got some water-based protein and it even worse than the shakes. it smells horrible! i didn't do well with protein for the first 2 weeks out of surgery. now that i can have mushies i'm doing a lot better with soft protein. the same ought to be true with you. hang in there!

Great to hear where everyone else is at two weeks.  My surgery was the 7th.  I have no discomfort any longer and am back to work 1/2 days.  All my incisions have healed and got to move onto pureed foods on Wednesday.  I was down 18 lbs last Tuesday (two-week appt) for a total of 48 since I started dieting Jan 1.  Sure has made a difference.

I am finding variety a problem with pureed - especially food with enough protein.  I have had so far - greek yogurt, cottage cheese, tuna, salmon, turkey chili, all blended to a lovely applesauce consistency.  I had to start adding some carbs because I was getting too low and had no energy with just the protein.  So I added stuff like sf jam to my yogurt and blended sf peaches to the cottage cheese.  I am able to each about 3 ounces per meal.  I am still having to supplement with some Myoplex EAS protein twice a day.

Hang in there - soft foods are around the corner :)

Things are great.  I am finally overcoming the exhaustion hurdle which has been my
biggest challenge.  Thanks to all who have written me and all who have said a prayer
for me.  Good luck to those upcoming surgeries!

I am scheduled for an RNY on the 29th too!  Good luck!! 

I feel the same way!  I've been wanting this surgery for 3 years, and I can't believe that we're just 6 days away!

Congrats to you!
