Less than 2 weeks for me... protein ?
I am 2 weeks today. My tastes really changed post surgery. I am using the IDS Whey Bullets grape is good, they are 42 gms of protein (I do 1/2 in the am and 1/2 in the pm so they are absorbed). I am also using the Max Protein - I love the chocolate you can heat it up and make "hot chocolate" out of it. YUMMIE. I was advanced to puree at 6 days out and everything except chicken has sat pretty well with me. I had a list of things to try first and then advance to other things. Good luck.
Right after my surgery I couldn't stand anything too sweet, so even though I had loved all the Nectar proteins before, I couldn't stomach them for about a month after surgery. I survived on the chocolate Max Protein, Syntha-6 strawberry milkshake, and Any Whey mixed in with broth or strained soup.
The other weird taste I had was that I couldn't stand the taste of water right after surgery. I was able to drink Aquafina (which I believe is distilled) but the water from my Brita pitcher that I had always liked just fine tasted bad. This went away too though, and now I'm back to liking my Brita water again.

I am almost a year out and I still enjoy the Nectar Sweete whey protein powder that I mix with skim milk. They are the best tasting in my opinion and satisfy me till lunch. I get them from wwwbariatriceating.com Cottage cheese with applesauce is good too once you can have that. Good luck! HUGS Jeanine
