I have uses Designer Whey 100 calorie Protein supplement, and also pre-made shakes low carb slim fast and Atkins shakes. More expensive, but if you like them, it is great relief.

Samantha, i was sore at the port site for a while, and even after a few months, If i strained or did something using my stomach muscles, that is where it hurt. I worried about straining or tearing something, but they told me it is perfectly normal, and not to worry. 9 months after, I am fine, and barely tell it is there. Keep up the good work, and keep asking questions, the support form people who have been through this is so great! You only had your surgery last week.....you're gonna do great. If you are uncomfortable and you don't want the pain meds they gave u, try some tylenol to take the edge off.
