well ... one week out, and I'm having a problem tolerating protein drinks (especially chocolate) and other foods, and nausea consumes me about 75% of the time ... my surgeon's nurse said that with laparoscopic RNY, they usually fill you with carbon dioxide (or something like that), and it might take a while to work out ... so hopefully that' all it is and this intolerance will end. The chewable vitamins I've tried (Flintstones and Centrum) leave a horrible metallic taste in my my for hours, so I'm looking for something else to try too.

Week one is tough, but week two is better. I just finished week 3 and the future is looking better than ever. One day at a time and you will make it though. A lot of stuff you need to learn about your new body and how it works. Keep remembering why you choose to have surgery. Hang in there and good luck.
