Premade Protein Shakes or Protein waters are great in the early days. For foods, I ate a lot of refried Beans, hummus, thick Soups, etc. and would just add unflavored Protein Powder (Isopure) to everything. Once you progress to solid foods, it gets easier to get more protein in without supplementing.

I have been taking the Unjury chicken broth Protein powder. You mix it up in warm (not hot) Water and drink it. It has 21 grams of protein in 8 ounces. 90 calories so it is really not bad to get the protein in. I got so sick of sweet Protein Shakes that I needed a change. If you need the full 30 grams of protein like a premeir Protein Shake, use a scoop and a half in 12 ounces...still much easier to get down than a protein shake and the calories are the same.

I need to get my hands on the non flavored protein because taking it down has been my biggest challenge the taste is to much for me .

      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!!
