Unjury makes an unflavored Protein that you can add to stuff that you like...might give that a try...

You may already be doing this, but drinking from a cup with a lid (not through a straw though) helps. The smell of the Protein can be a big contributing factor. I haaate cleaning blender bottles if it's sat for 6+ hours. Gag.

I'm a big fan of the Healthwise/Nutriwise drinks. This website has the best prices I could find, and they carry the full collection (unlike my surgeon's office): http://www.bariatriclifestylediet.com/brands/NutriWise.html. The classic hot chocolate is mah jam (15 grams Protein and only 80 calories). I've tried most of their drinks, so PM me if you have any questions.

I've had really good results with New whey Protein "shots." It's 3.8 oz, comes in different flavors (mixed berry, grape, blueberry, watermelon) and it's 42 grams per 3.8 oz!!!! At our local grocery store, it's kinda expensive ($2.68 each) but for a woman, it's more than half of what you need for one day! I then follow up with chicken, Beans, cottage cheese or other.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
