Thank you so much for those suggestions. I am using the whey powder I bought from Amazon. Also I ordered some items from the Bariatric Pal store and was so excited to finally get something to eat. So the apple cinnamon oatmeal came, opened it up, the directions said place in large bowl for 3 minutes, after 1.5 minutes the whole microwave oozing oatmeal. I am going to reach out to them to see if the directions were wrong. Now I am going to try their strawberry banana smoothie that I have been shaking for 30 minutes now. LOL I am never such a debbie downer but I am hungryyyyy. So far today 4 oz of liquids in. I am running on empty.
