Pain in my left side & stomach, and protein issues

I have been having a pain on my left side, just under my left breast since my surgery. I am 6 weeks out from RYN. It is not my pouch, its a little to the left of that. At first it was a slight sharp stabbing pain that would only be there if I took a deep breath or sneezed. That slowly subsided, but now has become more of a dull pain that is there more frequently. I had a diagnostic laproscopy 3 days ago and they found nothing. has anyone else had this? Also, when I drink anything, even if it's not cold, it hurts my stomach. It doesn't bother me to eat, but drinking is pretty uncomfortable. Also, I have tried several different protein shakes and cannot tolerate them. I tried a 'cappacino' type drink from bariatriceating.com today and it was ok at first, but by the time I was done my stomach hurt and I was nauseated. I am trying to eat deli meats, chicken, cheese, peanut butter, whatever I can that has protein in it, but I know it's not enough. I am thinking of getting some protein bars, but not sure how much that will help. I was going to try the protein bullets, as the sample pack I purchased came with one, but just smelling it makes my stomach turn. They have protein snacks available on the site but I don't know if that will be sufficient. Can anyone help me out with this? I know protein is essential for healing and weight loss, I just can't seem to find out how I can get it without wanting to be sick. Thanks!
