fruit?

HELLO ALL!!! I'M 2 MONTHS OUT (RNY), AND IT'S BEEN A LONG 2 MONTHS.  I'M JUST STARTING TO FEEL REAL NORMAL AGAIN.  EVER SINCE SURGERY MY STOMACH IS VERY SENSITIVE, WHICH I KINDA EXPECTED, BUT MAN IT STINKS!! I'VE FOUND THAT DAIRY AND I ARE NOT GETTING ALONG, AND I MISS IT SOOO MUCH, IT JUST IRRITATES ME TOO MUCH.  I'VE FINALLY BEEN ABLE TO EAT CHICKEN, A LITTLE AT A TIME, BUT IT STAYS DOWN.  I'M WORRIED I DON'T GET ENOUGH PROTIEN IN.  I CAN'T SEEM TO KEEP DOWN ANY PROTEIN SHAKES LIKE MEDIFAST OR EVEN SLIMFAST.  I'VE TRIED ENSURE AND BOOST AND I THOUGHT I WAS GOING TO DIE!!! SO, I WAS WONDERING IF ANY ONE HAD ANY SUGGESTIONS ON OTHER TYPES OF PROTEIN. AND ALSO, WHATS THE RULE ON FRUIT, I KNOW I'M NOT SUPPOSED TO HAVE RAW VEGGIES FOR A FEW MORE MONTHS, BUT WHEN CAN I HAVE FRUIT? I'D ALSO LOVE SOME REAL SIMPLE RECIPES OR IDEAS FOR FOOD IF ANY ONE IS WILLING TO SHARE ANY, I WOULD REALLY APPRECIATE IT.  I FEEL LIKE I'M IN A SLUMP WITH FOOD, LIKE I HAVE THE SAME THINGS OVER AND OVER. I NEED TO KICK IT UP A NOTCH!! ANY HELPFUL HINTS WOULD BE GREAT, THANKS SOO MUCH!!!!

I found that Chilli made with ground turkey, with beans to settle very well.  My MD did not want me to have anything too spicy until several months post op, so I made it fairly mild.  I almost always have some sort of chilli sitting in the frig (regular, white chicken chilli)  Chilli is one of the foods that always has settled well for me.

I also had good luck with crock pot chicken dishes.  They tend to stay nice and moist and the chicken gets very tender.  I found that chicken, turkey, fish, scallops, imitation crab / surimi.  Beef, pork were more difficult for me to digest.

good luck!  Once your pouch starts to settle in, it will become much easier to tolerate so many other foods.  There are only a few foods that I have problems with at this time.

THANK YOU VERY MUCH JIM FOR YOUR INFO.  I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT ABOUT A MILD CHILLI, BUT WAS TO AFRAID, I GUESS I'LL NEVER KNOW UNTIL I TRY!! I JUST HATE THAT FEELING WHEN SOMETHING DOESN'T SETTLE WELL, I HATE MAKING MYSELF VOMIT, YUCK!!!
THANKS AGAIN!!!

My surgery was Nov 4th.

I have been able to eat grapes - green only. About 2 -3 small ones I can handle
I have also tried strawberries, only 1 though

Have you tried Carnation Instand breakfast?

Or try the Atkins protein drinks - they astually taste really good and have 15g or protein, very few carbs (they do have sugar alcohols though) but I had no problem with them at all.
