Not fish, please. But flavorful recipes, marinades, coatings, etc for beef, chicken and pork. Struggling to enjoy protein haha 

Oh wow, you have really had a tough recovery!  I hope things calm down for you now. 

According to my nut & surgeon, water/fluids is more import than food. Those of us who've had wls have plenty of body fat stores to sustain us when we aren't getting calories, but we can get very ill very fast from not getting enough fluids. In fact they told us that dehydration was the number one cause of rehospitalization

So, you might want to focus on getting your calories in the form of liquids at this point   I had a lot of trouble tolerating foods the first month or two, including protein drinks; here are some "calories" I discovered I could always tolerate during the early stages:

• split pea soup (removed any hunks of ham; chew chunky-style soups well before swallowing)  it's super high in protein and most types are very low in fat
• lactose free cottage cheese (chew well before swallowing)
• Fat-free re-fried beans (alone or on crackers)
• "chicken soup" protein
• Once soft non-puréed foods were allowed:
• - fresh strawberries (all other fruits made me dump)
• - moist mild fish (salmon, flounder, tilapia) with broccoli (steamed till very soft) and a little mashed potato or sweet potato (no added fats or sugars)
• - saltine crackers with a tiny schmear of pub and low-sugar strawberry jelly

a lot of things that are commonly recommended did not work well for me -- eggs, chicken, yogurt or anything made from milk (like many other wls-ers , I'm now lactose intolerant) -- all of these caused major stomach pain. 

Hope those ideas help. Hang in there!

Good Morning!  I tried the Plant Fusion - yuk, yuk, yuk!!!   So then the Orgain Vegan shake tasted much better :)    And I think nutritional yeast might save me!

Repost to introduce yourself. Copy and past your post above!  Let me know if you need anything else.

I can totally relate.  My taste buds have changed dramatically.  The only drink I could tolerate was Lemonade 15.  Even though it has calories, it was the only drink that I could stand without experiencing nausea.  Protein shakes were awful, anything sweet grossed me out.  Cottage cheese continues to be a "go to" but if you are experiencing difficulty with lactose not a good option.  Refried beans, lentils, tuna, scrambled eggs, chicken soup (home made crock pot the only way I can tolerate chicken right now), pork (pork chop, pork roast) in crock pot, shrimp (love), Oscar Mayer oven roasted turkey, Unjury Chicken soup, etc.  Hopefully this helps. Farther down the line I can tolerate more foods, so hoping you will be able to.
