What stage are you on? Are you supposed to be on Clear liquids that's one thing. If you can have full liquids you can go to the store and get some Soup that appeals to you and blend it in a blender until there are no chunks.

Tomato Soup with cottage blended in has Protein.

Those little sweet berry flavored Protein shots are NASTY. Is that what you mean? And the Protein shake my surgeon's nutritionist sold me is very blah. It's Bariatric Advantage chocolate. To give it more flavor I use one scoop BA and one half scoop Slimfast and one splenda packet.

Have you tried different Protein drinks? I like EAS Myoplex chocolate Drink - it has 42g of Protein in 16 ozs. I think. if you sip on that all day you'll be doing good to get in 42g during 2nd week post op. Muscle Milk is available most places and has 25g protein and several flavors incl choc, banana and strawberry. I drink a few sips from a Myoplex every time I walk past the fridge. I bought some Ensure high Protein Drinks too but I dont like them as much and they are only 25g.

I went to all the different grocery and drug stores around me and bought a large variety of different flavors and drinks and mixes and tried each one till I found one I liked the taste of.

As for clear Soup, you dont need a home recipe, go buy a jar of bullion cubes at the store, or even by Raman Noodles and throw out the noodles, they have a large variety of flavors of broth. Same for cream Soups, Campbells makes quite a variety available at the local grocer. But surely you know that? I did not like those Soups myself. UGH. I liked broth much more than cream soups.....

But even with these soups you still need to get protein some way as the soups don't have any or much. So you will still have to drink protein drinks and shots and shakes as well to get your daily dose.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
