I also struggle with getting my Protein in. My taste buds are shot, and I have no appetite. I am also challenged with getting enough Water in me.

My surgery was laparoscopic with 4 incisions on April 2nd. 3 of them were completely healed in less than 2 weeks but I still have one that is not healed. Must have been the main one' date=' it seems a tad bigger than the others. Little reddish around the edges but seems to be getting smaller and more healed each day. I am having a hard time getting in my 60g of Protein, so that could be why it is healing slowly I guess.[/quote']

Have you tried the Unjury chicken"soup" Protein Powder? It is sooo good and ypu mix it in 8oz Water so its not a 12oz thing and it's 20g protein i LOVE it ! I feel like im having a meal when i drink it instead of a "protein shake"

The Unjury chicken protein is really good when mixed with chicken broth too :-)

Sorry about the TMI....I had RNY this past Monday and got home yesterday. My doc has me on all liquids for first week home. Last night I had my first Protein Shake (2 ounces as directed). Every time I have a shake, I'm running to the bathroom shortly after. And obviously nothing is solid...not fun. Does anyone else experience like this?

I had surgery the same day and had diarrhea today as well. I swear the gas bubble were coming from as high as my throat! My husband and daughter were just listening, and were joking I was gonna blow . About an fifteen minutes later I did. I immediately felt better tho. It is such a relief to have that out of my system. Now just some pain in left side, front and back. Feels good to lie down, so that's what I'm doing! Maybe yours was related to milk in shake? ? I had milk this am as well.
