I liked:

Premier Protein

GNC Lean 25 (orange cream is my favorite)

ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates

ProtiDiet creamy chicken and tomato basil Soups

WonderSlim dark chocolate pudding

Syntrax nectar

It didn't have a schedule as I pretty much sipped something all the time early out in order to get in my 100 grams of protein and fluids.

The only thing I used to mix my protein shakes/soups/puddings was Water.

I just found chobani yogurt shakes today. 14 grams of Protein. 200 calories. Delicious.

Is that something you can get at the grocery? Haven't seen them yet, would be interested to try them.

I didn't worry about Protein at all the first week- I was only on Clear liquids so I didn't get hardly any

Each day or so add a little more to your diet. Mix a little unflavored into your broth or apple sauce or drinks. It doesn't have to be the full scoop, maybe half if you are still anxious about your stomach getting upset.

Yes, at the grocery. I'm still trying to find protein I can tolerate. Greek yogurt is definitely a good source. I also use chicken Soup powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. Everything else tastes like a sickly sweet vomit. Makes me nauseous as soon as it hits my stomach. I have nectar coming. Fingers crossed.

These are all terrific ideas, I should get my notebook our and take note bc this is one of my concerns as well!!

My biggest piece of advice - but one of everything. Even if you loved it preop. And then, 2 weeks later your tastes will change. So hold off in giant jars, etc.

Oh I have to do that too. She texts me every time she sees protein mix on sale. Haha.

Unflavored protein powder in broth got me through the clear liquids. Once I moved on to full liquids, unflavored protein powder and strained cream of chicken soup was a savior.

I can eat "anything" now. It's a huge struggle to get calories, fluid, and protein right now. I'm almost 6 weeks out. Waiting for that easier part to kick in.
