Hi everyone! I'm new to this forum. I just had my surgery on Dec. 17th and am dealing with the typical (from reading other threads) bloating and pain. Every day gets a little easier. My question to others is this, how are you all managing to get the protien in? I am sipping, and drinking, and sipping and probably only managing to get in about 40g of protien. Any advice?

Thank you!

Hi Paula,

For some liquid protien I ordered a product for Protica.com which has four or five different flavors and its 25 grams of protien. you can also drink an 8 oz glass of skim mild for another 7 grams of protien

I used the shakes my doc had me use for my preop diet. I fortunately had no trouble drinking liquids. Thank goodness!

Hi Paula,

I was Bariatric Advantage shakes pre op. The chocolate flavor is great and it was nearly 40 gm of Protein. If your doctor will let you cottage cheese or dannon light and fit (60 cal) is also helpful. Good Luck!
