I was banded on 4/11/11 & I too have had an ordeal with all of the sicky, icky, sweetie tastes & smells. A friend brought me an 80 calorie Creamy chicken Soup mix from Herbal Life that has 16g of Protein per serving. I mixed it with the chicken borth & it was a very nice taste difference PLUS since I was now able to keep some protein down I have felt "fed" & so much better. There is a medical grade Protein powder called unjury that come in flavors, but also comes "unflavored" & in a soup also. It is real nice, dissolves completely & immediately. I mixed it in some milk & was satisfied as well. Hope this helps you.
