Oh thank you for your input Milady! (Said with an English accent)!
I had my first post-op appointment with my dietitian today and she explained to me just about what you said (your advice free...her advice $50

). She also told me that since liquids and food can sometimes move so fast through your mini-stomach...that you don't always get the full effect of your medications...especially when at first you are still on the blood pressure meds and anti-depressants, like me...if they are not crushed. She suggested using sugar-free lemon yogurt because the tart taste is good for disguising BAD, BAD tastes. So I'll give that a try or just continue to hold my nose and gag.
Guess it just comes with the cemetery...er...I mean territory.
Thanks again Milady...I curtsy to your wisdom!

20 lbs GONE (forever I hope)...now just 100 or so to go!
