I gag with the protein powders as well. I have found something that is much better. I've been drinking about 4oz of Myoplex Light (vanilla and chocolate) that I bought at Target last week. They have helped me get more protein and not gag with the powders! I’ve also started eating applesauce and tried egg salad for the first time yesterday. I also had some bean soup – pretty much just a little bit of beans – and was able to take them really well.
All the best!
So I got sick with the flu over a week ago. Well crazily I am still having problems. I still have a slight cold and problems eating. My pouchy constantly feels like theres a lead block in it. Before I eat I'm nauseous and hungry, after I ate I am nauseous and uncomfotable. I cant win, even drinking fluids leaves me with this feeling and God forbid its a protein drink, I've just been staying away from these cause even the smell of the powder has me gagging. So lately I have been eating little to nothing, which I know isn't good. I'm not getting enough of anything in, especially protein and I am getting worried. I've basically been living off of yogurt (dannon lite nd fit and I try and mix in a half a scoop of protein), crackers (bad, bad, bad but I need to ingest something) and if in a good mood fish like salmon (must be canned) will sit. Yesturday I tried a hard boiled egg...no go so tried to make egg salad...could only get down the yolk. I am so frustrated right noow. Any suggestions...HELP! Oh and I dont like soup, of any kind including just broth, cottage cheese, pudding, beans, or jello.

I used to weigh myself several times a day, but that was giving way too much power to the scale to make or break my day. Now I really don't feel comfortable weighing myself at home--I can't really see the numbers and stand straight, so I just weigh in at the doctor's office.
I am still nervous and fear that this will not work for me. My next weigh in is this coming Monday and I don't feel like I have lost anything at all. I am eating around 1000 calories not counting the medications but counting the protein drinks. I am walking more and taking fewer naps but not sleeping well at all. I have some sleepng pills but am reluctant to take them. I am still not comfortable with my new life style.
I will try to be patient and do other things besides think about food and nutrients and obsess about every little ache and pain. I am really glad all of you are here and that I am not alone.
Hi, I am having the same kind of issues. I was loving the water, but this past week I just hate the taste of it. :( The Crystal Light seems too sweet and for some reason I am not liking iced tea--loved it before surgery! I am going to buy a couple different brands of water and see if I find one that I can swallow again. I don't want to get dehydrated and I know I'm not taking enough in because my kidneys ache. So, that's a priority for me today.
Good luck, just wanted to let you know you're not alone...

I know my Urso for my gallbladder tastes nasty and it leaves a discusting taste in my mouth. Also some vitimins will leave an after taste.

Then a few days later at home one night I just could NOTstop crying. I was apologizing for being a bad wife, a bad mom, a bad daughter it was awful. It was like I had no control over my emotions. My husband said I would have admitted to the JFK assasination if I kept going. He kept walking in w/ various medications ground up in medicine cups and a paper bag to breath in. He was having such a hard time not knowing what do w/ me. He kept wanting to take me to the ER.
