Can you give me some ideas?????

Let me add again that what works before surgery may not afterward. I also have stacks of protein drinks and can't gag it down, although I was fine with them before surgery. Stick with sample sizes - no matter how much you like them before surgery. Good luck! Judith

I only ever drank ONE protein shake---I've gotten all my protein in food. I chose the DS over the RNY for many reasons, a big one being that I didn't want to have to reply on things like protein drinks. Have you ever considered the DS? If you haven't read anything about it, you really should---many medical professionals think the DS is the best choice for those with a BMI greater than 50, especially when it comes to keeping the weight off. And I felt it offered me a best post-op quality of life. Come check out the DS forum right here at OH, and see what all the fuss is about! (*grin*)
