Had GBS Dec 17th anyone else?

Been out hospital since saturday dec 19th. Feel good.tired of liquids. Start next stage thur dec 24th. Anyone else 6 days post op? Thanks Tango

Had my RNY in ATL on 12/16.  A few minor issues with smell and taste, but getting a little better.Currently 12 days Post-Op.

Thanks 4 responding. I am having issues with the smell of people's breath. Everyone's breath smells horrible 2 me. It is spooky. No one can smell it but me. My family think I'm crazy. If someone gets 2 close 2 me I back away. I know I seem rude. I guess it will get better. Another thing how do I add friends from OH? I have none. Need support at times? Have lost any weight yet?

Hi Tango,, Hope things are going better now. My surgery was Dec 21...sounds like I felt like you did. Im doing better now . Still having trouble with that darn protein but doing my best.

Me 2 the protein is not easy 4 me either. What r u eatin these days? I need ideas thanks

Sorry I did not get back to you sooner. Lots of eggs, boiled, egg salad, fried in pam. cheese sticks, swedish meatballs, reg meatball. gound turkey I have used mexican cheese sauce, brown gravy. in and on  my meat. meatloaf. raviolli (cheese) Butter Beans pureed, Taco bell refried beans. I made a spinach cheese bake the other day from egg shredded cheese cotage cheese and parm cheese and of course the spinach. I did find a protein drink Isopure it is kind of like koolaid it comes in a 20oz bottle and has 40gms of protein. I like some of the flavors but I have mixed some crystal light in with it to help it taste better. I find that pasta and breads seem to sit in my stomach and make me very uncomfortable. Oh Fish. I had tuna sand from subway and scraped it out of the bread (It had a lot of flavor) and just broiled fish. breaded fish doesnt sit well either. I am trying to do the protein shake in the am, Mixed with peanut butter or a banana. How are things going for you. Have you found anything wonderful?
 

Dam I'm scared 2 eat I need 2 get with it. Have u eaten any type of green salad? Tango

No no green or fresh veggies. I was told I cant have them for a couple more months. My doc did say I could have an apple or pear as long as I peeled the skin off. I do make sure I chew everything vert well. I can't eat very much at a time less then a 1/4 of a cup. I just experiment with what I think I might like. My taste buds are stil out of whack.  I waste alot of food. I bought a bullet it is the greatest thing. you can make slushies and protein drinks it makes it easy. and has cups that you can take with you. Oh I also have to make sure i pay attention when im eating or i start eating to fast and then get sick. Just eat a bit wait alittle give it time to get to your pouch. I started out with scramble egg then went from there. Let me know how it goes.

Does the protein powder taste gritty 2 u? Tried to make a smoothy with fruit and vanilla protein powder. It was horrible.

Yes I have a cabinet full of bad protein powder. I usually make my drinks with carnation instant break fast drink (8gms protein)1cup skim milk (8) and vanilla yogurt ( i cant remember how much protein) and Ice. I have a protein mix from juice plus company (17gms in a scoop) it is not gritty. You might be able to find it on line. My neighor sells it. It comes in vanilla and choc. And does not have that after taste that most have.  have you blended your smoothis with ice? If not try it you might not get the gritty feeling.
