Your tastes definitely can change. Many of us struggled with meat especially. In part because it's harder to digest, and for others, the taste/texture no longer was appealing.

Food s that come to mind that MIGHT work for you are cottage cheese, stick cheese, beans (especially refried with some salsa and cheese on top which can also allow you to feel like you're eating a little "junk food" o r fast food..but usually is tolerated well by many.

Some can eat hard boiled or scrambled eggs. Others find that nauseating...you will know. Even at 27 months post op, some days I can handle eggs just fine... other days...no way.

If you have found a combination for protein shakes, I find they are great breakfast or dinner ideas. If you need any suggestions on frozen type (adding ice to blender). Eggface has many ideas on her website. I have a chocolate one I have most mornings, even now, for breakfast. Gets plenty of protein and I tolerate it well. Good news is these shakes can be made not just with milk, even low carb doesn't work for some, but soy milk, or my new favorite, Almond milk. Feel free to email me if you want more thoughts on what works for me in shakes. I still find them a good staple.
Hope that helps.

I'm nearly 12 weeks out and I'm in the same boat as you. Yesterday I thought I"d try a Morningstar Farm veggie burger because I loved them in the past. Big Mistake!! It didn't smell all that great while I was cooking it, so I should have not eaten it, but I did. I tasted that burger all night and no matter what I did I could not get that nasty taste out of my mouth. At this point, all I want is fruit. I am on a watermelon and peach kick.
I"m also still struggling to find a protein that I can tolerate. If I don't find some nourishment soon I'm going to be in big trouble.

im sorry to hear u are struggiling i am 12 weeks out as of july18 and i can eat just about anything,i stay away from sugar and white carbs but i have tolerated everything ive tried so far,hope it gets better for you

At 12 weeks, I was still eating a lot of chili (Dennison's Low Fat Beef Chili) and Pea soup, to which I'd add diced ham to up the protein. I often put the soups through the blender. Blending them made it easier for my pouch to tolerate the meat. Both tasted yummy to me, and the didn't take a lot of kitchen time.
