Thanks for all the protein suggestions and ideas everyone.  I went out over the weekend and bought a few more brands to try.  Still no luck.  Right now I'm nauseated by everything and super sensitive to smells and tastes.  Things have gotten worse since my last post and I actually threw up on Saturday.  It was awful, even though I had nothing in my stomach.  Now my left side is sore and I feel like crud.   I just got off the phone with my doctor's office and they said to just try and stay hydrated.  They also want me to go back onto one of my meds (Reglan), which is supposed to help empty your stomach faster.  I was prescribed it about a month or so ago because apparently my stomach wasn't emptying quick enough (as shown by an upper endoscopy I had done).  I took the Reglan a few times but I couldn't sleep with it and it made my RLS (restless leg syndrome) worse.   So I guess I'll give that a try and hopefully avoid going to the ER for dehydration.  My post-op appt is Weds and I'm hoping I can hang in there til then.   Believe me, I'm not a water person, but that's all I've been doing.....sucking on ice chips and sipping water.....so that tells you how lousy I feel ;o) I'll have to keep my options open for protein.  I don't like coffee, so that knocks a few off the list.  The only milk I've used is skim, and that was just one time.  I was able to sip on some chicken broth and a few sugar-free popsicles last week.  I did try sugar free jello, but only got about 3 baby spoons into it.  Of course, that's not going to give me any protein. Well, my upset tummy and I are going to try and settle down on the couch for now.  I hope things get better soon.  Thanks again for all the info!

Sorry you are not feeling better. Keep hydrated that is for sure. How about some mint tea? or ginger tea may help with the queasy feeling. Keep us posted.

Have you tried Pro to Go through Bariatric Choice its in like a lil mike jug comes in Chocolate and Banana I cant do the Banana but the Chocolate isnt bad. I had the same problem w/ the proteins and smells and tastes. Please keep yourself  hydrated like they said. I became dehydrated and had a mess of it. Try one or two of the Pro to Gos's there like 1.65 or something like that you dont have to buy a big quanity there small bottles and there are  15 grams of protein per bottle.  Good luck.

Hope that you will be feeling better soon. May take some time to get protien in, Pray you can get some fluids in and avoid the ER.  Blessings, Shannon
