I am 5 days post-op and I am having serious issues getting my Protein Drinks in. I was given Protein slams in the hospital that have 42 gramsof protein in them, but I just can't get them down. They are so nasty! I try to sip on them and I gag everytime. I also tried putting some Protein Powder in Jello but it doesn't really dissolve and just settles to that bottom, yuck again. Does anyone have any suggestions about getting any protein in? I'm only really eating jello and broths right now and I'm worried that I am going to start getting weak from the lack of protein. Why can someone make a protein Vitamin? !?!?

I tried a bunch of them, liked some of the Unjury and the nectar types. I have found that some of the others taste sooo nasty I can't stand them. Unjury's unflavored went into sf pudding just fine, and I couldn't taste it.

go to the food section of the forum and look for the thread where you can order samples. There are a lot of places to buy samples to try different things. . the sytrex nectar has a chocolate truffle is good and so is the cherry. I personally don't like the Ungury but I have never tried the unflavored. I used the GNC brand of unflavored and put it in crystal lite and other sf drinks like poweraide zero.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
