So surgery was on 11/12 and still not feeling like myself. I've already been back to the ER for dehydration. Really feeling like I made the wrong choice. I never knew how much pain I could feel or would be in. I'm finally able to get in my drinks. But need help with getting my protein in. I've Tried Ispoure n it's not very good. Any suggestions or tips would be helpful.

It took me @ 6 weeks to feel "normal". Eat popsicles, tummy is swollen and the cold helps with swelling and it is a way of getting in liquid. I don't mind most protien shakes, I shop for low sugar high protien. Flavor free to add the soup.

I could hardly stand Premier Protein before surgery but can drink it now. I do dilute it and others with water and some ice and blend. I also like Whey to Go Protein powder - order online, and Target's EAS vanilla cream. I add some nutmeg to that when I blend it. I like all of them better with the water/ice. You may have to wait a bit after you blend for foam to all turn in to solution. Good luck. I'm over 4 months out and still drink two protein shakes a day. I have a lot of trouble drinking water. It stays in my esophagus and "trickles" through to my stomach.
