I had surgery on the same day, and struggle with some of the same issues. There's a drink sold by Walmart called New Whey Liquid Protein that you may want to look into for the short term (it really helped me meet my goal yesterday). Anyway, good luck :cheers:

I had my sleeve done on 4/29. When he went in to do surgery, he found that a portion of my stomach was in my esophagus because my hiatal hernia was so big. Also, my liver was extremely large so he did a biopsy. My starting weight was 205, I don't drink alcohol so therefore I'm worried as to why my liver was so big. I have to say that the only Protein Drinks I like are the Premier Protein from Walmart. To me, the vanilla is the best. It's only been 3 days & I have to say this is the hardest thing I've ever done! I am trying to have a positive attitude about this but it's so hard, especially when people are bringing over dinner to my family & I'm over here chugging on a Protein drink! Any suggestions?

I agree this is the hardest thing I have ever done, the birth of my son was a piece of cake n he was a 11 lb c-section baby. I also, had an hernia as well that they had to remove. I had Rita's sugar free n it gave me the runs not sure if that would fall under dumping syndrome.. food doesn't bother me b/c I cook for my family it's just the Protein Shakes. You can do this hun????????

I got sleeved 4/27/15 and I have a hard time getting Protein down as well because it's thicker. It helped me to walk while I sip. I try to walk as much as possible. Walking truly helps with EVERYTHING!

I was sleeved on 4/27 and also having a hard time drinking the Protein Shake. I like them but I get full. I drink Premier, Vanilla and strawberry. Got them at costco. I did blend the shake with ice. It's really good. Good luck.

      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!!
