I think JP is a great choice after bypass since it helps with macronutrients too. I also take the capsules to get in all my fruits and veggies intake. I do blood next month so will see how or if it has helped in that way too. The Protein Powder has 15 g of Protein so I boost it to over 20 with almond milk, chia seeds and or PB2 powder.

Hi! I'm new here and 7 weeks post op. My husband and close friends are worried about how negative I've become after surgery. I have been miserable after surgery trying to juggle new tummy (had a stricture and had that fixed 2 days ago), new job, hubby's new job, kids, house....been overwhelmed and very emotional.
Are mood swings part of after surgery life? Is wanting to cry a lot? Is this normal? My doctor says it is just my hormones changing and it will get better. Anyone else moody like this and took medication? Or began to see a counselor?
I'm not depressed just very very emotional.
Thanks in advance!

I made corn souffle at Thanksgiving that everyone loves and was able to eat a few bites too. Super easy and travels well.

Thanks everyone! I understand there might be different threads about Thanksgiving but the ones I found were 1) for all types of surgery and I'm gastric bypass 2) on regular food and I'm on soft foods and 3) I was looking for dessert to bring to our hosts. 4) And I'm new here. On that last note, let's be sensitive to newbies. I just left a FB group because the vets were being mean and insensitive to newbie questions. We newbies are overwhelmed and emotional.
Thanks again for the responses!

I will be on soft foods for Thanksgiving and do not want to even attempt traditional dessert. What is a "dessert" dish I could bring to eat?

Thank you for your replies. We had a good date night without me getting or feeling sick. We did chose a family restaurant that serves breakfast all day so I could order eggs. Then enjoyed going out to a movie where I smiled at the popcorn and proceeded to my seat.

Hi! I'm new here and had the same problem happen to me. I went the vegan route for Protein powder and mix SunWarrior with juice Plus with almond milk (fruit and PB2 too) and feel so much better. I can tolerate greek yogurt, cottage cheese and regular cheese, but Premier drinks and whey powder just make me feel horrible.
