Hi, I've found the same thing. I've lost 100 pounds - about half my excess body weight, and very few people have noticed other than my family and a few friends that know about the surgery. I don't let it bother me. I think eventually they will notice. - Carol

After surgery, my tummy wouldn't tolerate any sweet protein drinks, so I used unflavored protein powder in chicken broth, and it worked well. Perhaps it would work for you. the first few weeks, I put the unflavored protein powder in lots of things, just to get it in. jello, sugar-free puddings, yogurt, pureed veggies. Good luck with your journey. Carol

I couldn't stomach protein shakes after surgery either. But I can drink chicken broth with unflavored protein powder, and you can make sugar-free jello, and sugar-free fat free puddings with protein powder. Good luck with your recovery. You'll get there!
