Oh my goodness! I started experiencing this same pain about a week ago. I'm on vacation so I haven't called my doc yet, but I don't want to eat anything! I haven't changed what I'm eating and it doesn't matter what I eat, I get a really crummy pain dead center in my stomach. Boo!

Isopure makes a clear liquid Protein drink. It has about 140 calories and 40 grams of protein in 20 oz!! I add a little Mio or crystal light and Water to it to mask the aftertaste. I try to drink one of those throughout the day. My surgery was in late April and I'm only eating about 4-500 calories and can reach 60 grams of protein a day, but adding the isopure is really helpful!

I'm going to try this. I drank the isopures the first week post op but I completely hated the taste, once I could add protein shakes I stopped. But I'm not getting enough protein now. I love the idea of adding the crystal light. But, I hate aspartame! Wish there were better options for sugar free.

Something I do is make a meal for me and portion it out and freeze the smaller portions, that way if my family is having something I can't...I just pull something out of the freezer. So much easier than trying to cook two meals. Also, start cooking for you and having your family adjust some...it will be ok.
