The "Next Stage"

 I have noticed as I'm about 1 and a half weeks post op that I am always desiring the next stage of the "diet."  I am having a HORRIBLE time with protein shakes and pureed food.  Protein shakes taste like poo now compared to preop.  Not sure if I need to switch or what, but I'm having a hard time choking them down.  In addition to that, the amount I'm supposed to have always makes me too full to eat when I'm supposed to have "pureed" food, which quite honestly is just gross to me.  I gag at the thought, and my gag reflux is in FULL force.  Never had that problem before.  

Anyway, not many people post on here but I'm hoping someone can offer some advice.  Until then, have a great weekend!

You should post this on the VSG forum  you'll probably get more replies.
Just a suggestion hope it gets better for you soon.

 I had RNY - is there a forum for that?  Thanks for the suggestion!

Yes there is a forum for RNY hope you find the answers your looking for.

 Where is the forum?

If you go out under the Forums tab - let the drop down come up - then go out under the Rouen-y group, there are TONS of folks there that are more than willing to listen and try to help.  However, remember, some of them shoot  from the hip too and can come off as being abrasive but they are just trying to help.

I hope you get better soon - you have to find protein powder or drinks that go well, there are TONS out there.  Follow the plan as they give to you - tweek it as needed to make it work better for you, and take your time, food will still be here, just have to take the baby steps to back to being able to chew and eat real food.

I am always here for you - I will come see you again and we can go over more then.  I will dig out my books (if I still have them) and help you as much as I can!! 

HUGS my bestie!
