Thanks all for the ideas...I may just try the bullets...3 oz of that I can possibly handle.

Annette, My Doc recommended 70 grams a day. Did yours give you a guideline? I was OK with the taste of Isopure pre-op, but after I had my Lap RNY on 10/9, I couldn't tolerate it anymore, so I know what you're saying. It's really a matter of trial and error to find what your new pouch will tolerate. My easiest go-to for protein was the bullets. If you don't want to buy a case online right away, check with GNC or the Vitamin Shoppe. They both stock them. They don't taste fabulous or anything, but they're only 3 ounces, so you can quickly get 25 grams in. There are also 42gram bullets, but my pouch didn't like those either. (also, you can't absorb 42 grams of protein at once anyway.) I've also heard a lot of people mix the bullets with about 8 ozs of crystal light. You can also try the Unjury chicken broth flavored mix. I think they only sell online: https://www.unjury.com/ssl/purchasing.php I liked the taste, but again, the pouch did not like it. But maybe your pouch will. Just keep trying things, the protein is so important to help you heal. Good luck! Deb
