It can be tricky. Things you liked pre-op might taste weird or not sit well post-op. You might have to take a trip to somewhere like GNC or VitaminShoppe and get some sample packets and just try a bunch of brands and flavors. Just make sure that anything you get is low carb and low in saturated fat.

GNC unflavored works well.....in everything I've tried it with. Heck, it even did okay in Crystal Light, lol.

I use GENEPRO its unflavored medical grade Protein 30grm per scoop. Mix it into whatever beverage you like. It also blends well with hot liquids, I put it in my broth. You can get it on Amazon.< /p>

I would be a little cautious when choosing GENEPRO. They claim that a serving is the "equivalent of" 30 grams of Protein, because you are supposed to absorb their protein better than regular whey isolate. However, there have been no independent studies proving their claim yet. So, I would err on the side of caution and still only count it as 15 grams of protein towards my daily protein target. Better to end up getting more protein than you might need than finding out you've only been getting half as much as you thought.

In my early days post-op, unflavored Protein powder was a lifesaver for me. I'm not sure where you are in your food stages, but you can mix it with broth, cream of chicken Soup, or yogurt, among other things.

I tried three different Protein shakes, and my stomach isn't agreeing with any of them. I'm not getting enough Protein for the day. So now I'm trying the unflavored Protein powder, sure hope it works.

May sound silly but I've only like them after I refrigerate them for a few hours...usually overnight. Makes a big difference. I've also only liked the chocolate and strawberry. Good luck.

Premier Protein is way to sweet for me. I also use GENEPRO and there has been much debate about the 30 grams. I'm sure by now if it weren't correct there would be consumer complaints to verify and adjust the claim. Do the research as I've seen the 15 gram claim before and don't think that is accurate. I like it cause I can mix it in everything even if just add 1/2 scoop to things like yogurt that already has 15 grams of Protein to get to 30.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
