My nut said protein shakes or bars are fine if you can't handle meat right now because of morning sickness. I had it REALLY bad and past the 1st trimester. (I'm 20 weeks now).  She did say the best way of course is thru foods.  I can eat everything now and am starving all the time.  She said the most important thing right now is protein.  

I had gastric bypass not quite a year ago, but I assume it's the same for you.  I eat canned tuna or salmon a couple times a week (within the recommended amt for preggers), lunch meat (heated) and cheese, protein shakes and bars when on the go... Basically go back to how you ate right after surgery.  She said if it comes between protein or fruit/veggies, go for the protein.   Congratulations and good luck!
