Hi Mary, Did you have the bypass or the band? You could try making cheddar cheese soup made with skim milk and put some protein powder in it. You could also blenderize cottage cheese with some skim milk and add some pureed fruit. If you are a bypass patient it is a struggle to get your food in at this time. Keep drinking your fluids like you have been. Hang in there. For the first month it is most important to stay hydrated. You will make it. Take your time at meal times. If nausea is a big problem for you call your surgeon and get some medicine for it. I hope this helps. Mona

Don't worry about trying to get in all 60 grams of protein at this point Mary. It takes a good 2 months to work your way up. You have a new and tender pouch take care of your self and take baby steps, also for the first couple months you may find your taste if off and nothing tastes good, don't worry that will come back too. Hang in there you are doing GREAT, Jeanb
