I was banded on Monday Oct.17th. I did awesome on my pre-op but I am hurting on my post-op. I am have not found a protien that doesnt remind me of vomit, I feel like crying every moment of the day I CANNOT STOP THINKING ABOUT FOOD!!! please any suggestion/advice I really need it.

Hi and sorry you are having a rough start. GNC sells Isopure drink 40g of Protein in a 20oz bottle. You need to dilute it with Water and it has a taste similar to the Now and Later candies. Grape and Green Tea seem to be the most popular flavors they sell. Whole Foods sells Proasis drink 25g protein in a 3oz test tube looking container. Again dilute it with water. Fruit Punch and Grape are recommended flavors. My doctors office suggested IDS New whey liquid Protein in fruit punch flavor. It's another test tube like container and dilute it with water. I hope you can find one of these and tolerate drinking it.

I really like unjury Protein. You can only order on line and it ships really fast. I only liked the strawberry and made a fruit smoothie. I used 1/2 cup frozen fruit, scoop of portein and enough unsweet apple juice to make it the consistance you want.

Until you get your first fill you wont fell alot of restriction so hang in there.

Good Luck!!!!!

Oh once you can drink something thicker than Water the Jay Robb Whey Protein powder chocolate is very good mixed with 1% milk. 25g protein per serving from the powder plus good amino acids. It's an all natural product sweetned with Stevia. Whole Foods and a regional chain called Sprouts sell it or you can order online.

I like the Sugar Free Carnation Instant Breakfast, I mix it with skim milk and a couple tablespoons of dry milk to double the protein...I use a blender and its more like a shake. I had my surgery 9/28 and my first fill today...so I am still learning too...Good luck to you!
