My surgeon has his own bariatric product that he had me on. You can find it at Bariatric Diets and Nutrition - SmartForme
I only used the liquid product for the first 2 weeks. It isn't too bad. I also used the SF Carnation Instant Breakfast. I often put in 2 pouches of the Inst Breakfast into 8 oz of ff milk for a total of 18 grams of protein. You can also add dry milk like Corrine suggested.
Something else I still use a lot is the Fage 2% yogurt. I add in a packet of orange crystal light, a little Splenda and a dash of vanilla extract. It will give you 17 grams of protein. I've even made a smoothie with the Fage, Carnation Inst. Breakfast, Splenda, ff milk and Crystal light. It tasted great but it is quite a bit to drink early postop. It gave me 30 grams of protein.
Those 2 things were my big standbys besides the SmartForme product.
