I have been using Bariatric Advantage Protein powder. I don't find it too sweet. I like the vanilla. At first I didn't care for BA but i was only mixing it with Water. Now, even if I just add a splash of nonfat milk it tastes much better; and I add a bit more liquid than the suggested amount. BA will become very thick and frothy if you put it in a blender. I don't care for all those bubbles so I just prepare mine in a shaker. If you are familiar with muscle milk light---to compare---I think BA is about 1/3 as sweet but 3x thicker. You can get it online. Also, a serving has 27g of Protein, when you add a bit of milk you get at least 30g. I would love to get more ready to drink shakes for convenience, but I can't see paying so much money. At this point, I'm happy with BA now that I have figured out how to tailor it to my taste.

I don't think diluting your shakes after surgery should be an issue--remember that after surgery it is important to get in as much flluid as possible. I hope this helps.

If you go to the food section you can find places to order samples . Then you can try a few kinds without having to buy a whole bunch.

Spiru-tein has vanilla and chocolate Protein that are unsweetened, you add your own sweetener as much or as little as you want. They sell them in single serving packets, so you could try them out first.

      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!!
