It seems like you are daring yourself to screw up. The reasons for liquids and soft foods is for healing, your stomach is stapled and not healed - you don't want to mess it up and create a medical issue. Concentrate on the required grams of Protein and wrapping your head around sound nutrition. But you are correct about most Protein Bars.

My surgery went a bit sideways. Got done & BP crashed. Cardiologist came in, but it turned out be bleeding from surgery. Second surgery fixed it. Not discouraged, as I feel great, just tired. Going home tomorrow!

I hope so. I'm not drinking caffeine so I better up my exercise. Maybe now I'll have to deal with life instead of hiding behind food.

Yikes! No... no blood shot eyes, but I also haven't thrown up.

KateBruin, I was taking Prilosec 1X daily for my stomach acid. I started taking a TBSP of Bragg's Apple Cider Vinegar with the mother 2X daily about 4 weeks ago, and it really helped with controlling my stomach acid. My mom actually told me to try it as she used to suffer from acid reflux.
I stopped taking the Prilosec about 3 weeks ago, and haven't needed it since. Maybe it could work for you. It might be at least worth a try as long term use of PPIs can come with lots of nasty side effects.
