Hey all,

Ive been looking for something to carry my drinks, Protein powders, and pills for when I go back to work. I know I will still be needing a Protein Drink for some time to hit my daily goal. I can’t seem to find anything like this. I found one thing on Kickstarter and funded it. Of course that is not certain. Has anyone else found something like this that would carry everything?

This is the carry-all I got on Amazon. It carries portioned meals. Pills. Shakes, everything. And keeps them cool all day. I love it. http://a.co/8jDsGQU

Me too! On puree food now. No complaints yet.

Hi there. The first week is rough. I am just two weeks post op and still having trouble. Get depressed and now having trouble swallowing my vitamins. It gets better. Some days are better than others. The people on these boards are very supportive and helpful. You aren’t alone. Anything specific you are struggling with?

I'm now post op day 5.. What a roller-coaster.. Can't seem to a protein shake that agrees with my stomach. ☹️

Have you tried the protein waters? My surgery buddy struggled with shakes at first and was able to handle the premier protein water better.

I day post op! The gas pain is unbearable
