I went to that site. Thanks so much for posting this. . I'm 11 days post op and strongly identify with the OP. I had a shake that tasted like a Resses cup today. I feel so much better. We can do this!

I think someone mentioned it, but it may be lactose intolerance. I developed it around 2 weeks post op. It was a royal pain because I had 3 different kinds of Protein and I've spent so much money trying to find something that doesn't make my stomach turn!! This post IS right on time!!

I seriously doctor up my Protein drinks. It "masks" the flavor of the Protein enough that I find them enjoyable.

(BTW, when I had my lapband 6 years ago Isopure was the first brand I tasted and I couldn't stand it. Then I went to EAS CarbAdvantEdge and that was my staple for 5 - 6 years. This time around I"m still experimenting).

Tonight was PBJ protein drink:

2 scoops vanilla powder

1 tbl PB2 Peanut Butter

1 pump SF Peanut Butter Syrup

1 pump SF strawberry syrup

Made in plain, light soymilk.

I never, and I mean never, drink "straight up" Protein Drinks. The smell alone is too bad. Not a lot is going into my mouth nowadays so I really want to enjoy what does.

Yesterday was peanut butter cup protein day (chocolate powder, PB2 peanut butter, SF peanut butter syrup).

Tomorrow is feeling like it might be an orange julius protein day (vanilla powder, SF orange syrup, tsp SF vanilla pudding). I little farther out I will use reduced acid OJ instead of the syrup.

For RTD, I prefer the EAS CardAdvantEdge in strawberry, but it has to be VERY cold. I can't stand them once they warm up. I buy them at Target, they look like this:

EAS!!! This is what I use too! Love them. My husband likes them too! I get mine at Sams Club.

My nutritionist gave me a sample of these bad boys and I loved them especially the orange but i've been too busy to get back to her about ordering some, so I have no idea how much they are or where to get them from...

Sunkist Protein 24g, super tiny and way better than any Isopure or Protein Shots, and especially those aweful shakes!

Those look really good! and have a good amount of protein! when you find out please tell me!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
