    Get some unflavored Protein powder - I have GENEPRO & unjury chicken. I add the chicken flavors to chicken broth or Soups. The GENEPRO mixes in other Soups (be careful of the temperature), yogurts, cottage cheese, puddings, coffee, teas too. Try adding the Premier Protein (4 ounces) into some coffee and Fairlife Protein milk is also good. I'm almost 3 Months out and these have helped me meet my protein goals. smoothie king also has a gladiator protein that I enjoy on occassion. I have tried the nectar protein but don't care for them very much.

    My surgery was September 26th. VSG, gallbladder removed and hernia repair! I'm doing well overall, lost 41 pounds so far, have no food restrictions, meeting my Protein goals most days with food - not shakes. I am still struggling with Fluid intake often (my taste buds don't like Water anymore and I'm getting tired of the same flavors). I'm open to suggestions. My incisions have healed, I have no pain unless I lay on my right side (still tender), my scars are fading. People are telling me I look skinny - (no one outside of my immediate family knows) my clothes no longer fit or are baggy. I found a local support group I really love. This 1st Thanksgiving was wonderful except for the ham (vomiting the 1st time since surgery), I don't know what is up with pork! I'm never hungry. I have been able to stop my blood pressure medication & the cardiologist gave me a great report and I don't go back for a year! Overall, I'm really happy with the progress I'm making and so glad I decided to have the surgery. It feels GREAT being healthy!!!

    The things I wish I knew before surgery are:

    1. Get the Vitamin Patches.

    2. Avoid the Protein shakes as much as possible - try to get as much Protein from real food as you can.Your taste buds will change.

    3. Fluids are a constant struggle, have a variety of options available.

    4. An ice pack was my best friend while recovering.

    5. You will have several incisions and they do take time to heal.

    6. It's difficult to lay on your right side. (I'm 6 weeks out & still can't lay on my right side).

    7. unjury protein powder taste great in chicken Soup.< /p>

    8. GENEPRO is a good protein powder but be careful what you mix it with.

    9. Any local support groups you can attend are very beneficial.

    10. Every day it will get a little bit better.
