I have 10 cc's in my 11 cc band so it's pretty tight. I was having trouble getting protein down as well... chicken especially. I like to eat lunch meat in very thin slices and lots of cheese. If you do eat the drier stuff such and chicken and steak and it gets stuck my doctor told me to take a sip of seven-up and the bubbles will actually help move it. He also said to take a meat tenderizer tablet. Not sure how that works but the pop actually helps a lot. Best of luck!

I have had a really hard time finding a Protein drink that I like! Pre-op I was on a full liquid diet in which I had to drink 2 Protein drinks. I found that Ensure was the only one I could get down and that was with a plugged nose. I am 7 days post-op and went into my local grocery store yesterday and found this wonderful protein juice. It's called Naked- Protein Zone. They have a berry flavor and pina colada flavor. 8 oz. is 220 calories and has 16g of protein! I replace Breakfast with one of these and love it! I forgot to mention it does not have that nasty protein taste!
