Have you tried the unflavored Protein in Water and crystal light? I am practically living off that right now. You can mix it in any drink or broth. It is not 100% flavorless but it has been better than the shakes for me. I get 2 with that and 1 regular shake. I am post op 1 week 1 day.

I agree about different temps. I liked some hot that weren't so good cold. Also there's a good chicken Soup one you can order. Finally, I mix mine with non-fat Greek yogurt (Fage) and add a squirt of that coffee flavoring - either coffee flavor itself or things like SF caramel, etc. Good luck - keep at it until you find something works.

I use one called "Delicious" I put it in a blender with some frozen mixed berries, Greek yogurt, half a banana a dash of orange juice, and chilled Water.

I only had surgery yesterday so the quantity will be vastly different. But it makes it tasty and very doable. I used it in the past before work outs and for my 2 weeks pre op liquid diet.

At 2 weeks... im not sure if you are on the full liquid stage... we started soft foods at 2 weeks.

But what i did was make stew with either minced lamb, beef or turkey.

I made sure i added pulses and Beans for Protein and when cooked i would put a dollop of greek yoghurt in it.

If you can not stomach the Protein shakes, try changing brands.. types.. you can get pea Protein (it tastes yuck)..

I personally am not big on protein shakes.. i don't like the artificial sweetner in them.. so i limited them to once a day... .. but i reach my protein goals through food.

      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.
