I use the Body Fortress whey Protein powder-vanilla. It doesn't taste bad at all especially if you mix it with low sugar orange juice. It has 20grams of Protein in one scoop. I buy mine at Walmart and the best part is the price.

Also I love the Natures Plus, Source of Life liguid Vitamins. Someone on the board recommended them and I got some. I have my Mom who is 66 taking them and she also swears she has more energy. I used to take lots of Vitamins in pill form and these are definitely better. I found mine at Drug Emporium's Health food store but I've heard that they are also available at the Vitamin Shop and online.

Good luck on your surgery and keep us updated on your progress.

chewable Vitamins (I use centrum)

Chewable Calcium (caltrate or viactiv)

liquid Tylenol

Crystal light flavored drinks

Ice pops and italian ice

Don't buy to much, just like one of what ever you are getting. Even when I was on Clear liquids for 2 weeks i threw out a lot of the ice pops (24 in a box).

Ckn broth

Tea's

coffee w/skim milk

Favorite Soup (strained)

My Recliner :)

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
