Palette satisfaction

 5 days out from surgery...feel great but I can barely swallow anything.  I liked protein shakes before but I gag now at the milky feeling left in my mouth and the sweetness of it.  Are there any tangy or citrusy tasting drinks...I was not a fan of milkshakes to begin with...I seem to only want yogurt but told liquids only for two weeks.  The amount of food is not the problem as much as the appetite.

Concentrate right now on getting the water/fluids in.  Sip, sip, sip.  Your appetite will get better every day.  Right now you probably won't be getting in the 70g protein but get what you can where you can.  The most important thing is keeping yourself hydrated!

I could really only tolerate Crystal Light Peach iced tea with unflavored protein. You could try chicken broth with protein as well. Jus****ch the temperature - over 130F will mess up the protein.

thin the yogurt down with milk/water to drinkable  abd you have a liquid. GL

I bought some Proti Diet Concentrated Drink once acidently.  It's liquid and comes in a pouch.  Found it to be great.  Recommended it to my sister when she was sleeved.  It saved her as she couldn't get the milk shake protien drinks down.  Wish I had it when I was banded the first couple days.

I have the Kiwi-Melon right now;  Calories 70,Protein 15g, Carb 2g,  Sodium only 5mg, Potassium 10mg and Fat, Cholesterol 0.
