Is there such a thing. It 10pm and I realize that I still need about 40 grams of Protein. I can't possible bring myself to eat or drink anything else. I wish there was an easier way to get it all in. My stomach just can't hold it all some days.

This is funny, when I was about 2 weeks post op I literally Googled for them and they do have them, but they're 10 gm and below, so I just stuck to Protein Powder. Unflavored saved me because I was able to mix it in any food I ate and I would drink 8 oz with crystal light and add the 30 gm of unflavored Protein.< br>

Getting Protein in at week 2 for me was very difficult! I agree with "clc9", you have to start your day early. Protein is a must, I didn't do well getting in my protein the first three weeks. I now add 30g of GENEPRO unflavored to about 6oz of Water three times a day. It does get better. Best wishes!

My saving grace has been my chicken broth Soup. I boiled boneless skinless chicken breast in a gallon of Water with garlic powder for 45 minutes then put breast thru puree ,added 2 cans cream of chicken soup to broth then added breast back in. Then put it all. Thru puree again. I can only drink 1/4 cup at a time but i also drink 4-5 times a day. I also made vanilla sugar free pudding with slim fast high Protein Shake and 1/4cup 3x a day helps. I also made sugar free Jello with Protein water and eat 1/4cup 3x a day. Also if you like coffee i use 1 scoop of vanilla milkshake protein powder.

ive not been able to tolerate much else. Experiment tho and find what tastes good for you.

Im only 1week out post op and it hasnt been easy but keep faith and keep trying.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
