Hi Tracey

This wasnt mentioned to me by dietician as you will get protein from food once you start managing to eat more.

If you think you are not getting enough in your diet then it wouldn't harm if you can find one you like. If you do get a nice one you can share it in a post

Are you talking slimfast? I had so many of the darned things on the pre op diet I can't LOOK at them now, not even look. I have given a lot of them away. Anyone want the rest?

If not slimfast, I bought a huge tub of pea protein powder, the idea being just to sprinkle it on other foods to increase the protein content. I put far too much in my first cup of soup (the recommended amount of 20g, but presumably that wasn't for bariatric patients) and I had such wind pain, that I haven't touched the powder since. Major turn off.
