Welcome to TT's. I really enjoyed reading your story. I had my surgery 9/15. Getting protein in is the hardest thing for me. IM SICK OF CHOCHOLATE AND VANILLA AND STRAWBERRY...lol....oops didn't mean to break out in a vent rage....lol.....I've never been one to like fruity, tangy flavors either, thats making it sooooo hard to get my water in as well. I may not be a professional LAP RNY patient just yet, but Im gonna keep on keeping on until I get it right.
