Dairy has some protien, but it's not all that significant. I would worry about how your getting in 2 servings of Calcium. Protien should come from lean sources of meat such as fish, chicken, pork loin. Aim for at least 60 gms a day.

The OP is 5 days post op so still on liquids.< /span>

kimber, just because you don't like dairy products, you still need to gag down enough to get what you need nutritionally. Try mashed up refried Beans and thin them out with enough taco sauce to get to the proper consistency.

chicken, shrimp, lean lunch meat , tuna, Salmon, tilapia,peanut butter, nuts,protein bars, Beans, veggie patties and any veggie products will help you get Protein. I use to drink milk before my surgery but now I don't drink it at all. I do love cheese however. Start reading labels and find you a few high protein foods

Oh I just realized that you just had the surgery. I was out of luck the first week of my surgery because the Protein Drinks were nasty and made me want to puke. I didn't get good Protein until 2 weeks post op. Good Luck to you, this is a hard time but it will pass and you will have plenty of time to make up for all the protein that you missed.

Muscle Milk Light has some Great Protein Shakes. You just add Water to a couple of scoops of water.

Cookies N CREME, Peanut Butter chocolate, CHOCOLATE MILK, strawberry MILKSHAKE, and vanilla CREME.

If these flavors interest you. P M me, and I will give you the website.

These are the flavors that I drink, and I get them for a reasonable price, and,,, there Good ! 25 G of Protein per 8 oz shake.< /p>

      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!
