I've heard, but haven't tried that you can take chocolate Protein powder and mix with a little Water to create a paste and gradually thin with hot water until you have a hot chocolate type drink. The key is to premix the protein powder so it doesn't clump in the hot water. Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

Bariatric fusion has multi Vitamin stick packs that remind me of Crystal Light. You dissolve in Water. Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

It is expensive, but I figure if it helps save hair and get my Protein in without a huge amount of extra calories it is worth it. I dilute it with ice tea or Water so a full bottle goes into 64 ounces of other liquid. Plus I'm saving one compared to the $20 or more dollars I spent on food daily pre-surgery.

I drink BiPro Water in addition to protein shakes. I find BiPro Water a little too sweet so I dilute it with ice tea or water. 1 bottle is 90 calories and 20 grams protein. A nice option if you need to get your protein and water in. Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

Suggest you ask your surgeon about your internal stitches and healing before you go. I heard of a person who switched to solids too quickly due to being on vacation. She developed a leak and infection. You want to carefully follow your food plan. Had lapband surgery 10/12/16

It is inconsiderate of them and you have a right to ask them not to eat it in front of you. Ask them to stay in the car and eat their fast food. If your mother doesn't drive at night tell her she is welcome to eat what you made for the family or get something out of the freezer/cabinets and cook it. Be strong. Had lapband surgery 10/12/16
