There's not enough Protein in any pill you're going to take. You'd need to swallow an entire bottle to meet your daily goals.

Lots of soft foods have Protein.

Greek yogurt, oatmeal, refried Beans, cottage cheese, soft poached fish, split pea Soup

Also, you might be able to tolerate Protein Bars soon if you stick with smooth texture ones that don't have seeds and nuts.

I know everyone's tastes are different and taste buds change after surgery, but I've used the Isopure Unflavored powder in Water with a sugar free flavor packet (like fruit punch flavor) and I've found them to be really good. They don't change the flavor or thickness considerably and give you 25g of Protein with 0 carbs and 100 calories. I use one of the shaker bottles to make sure it's all dissolved. Also, I use the caramel premade Premier Protein in my coffee as a "creamer." That's a tip I got on here. I tried putting powder in my coffee and was not successful. ugh

I like Bariatric Protein Soups - the cream of chicken is really good and I’m excited to try the cream of corn- it’s 6oz with 15 grams of protein but it’s liquid so if I drink very slowly I have no problem with it - it’s nice to have something that’s not sweet- I’m 4 days out

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
