I use whey protein I buy in powder form at Walmart,Vanilla,Chocolate & Strawberry.I jump it up with fresh fruit or canned & mix in my blender.Some times I use ice & make slushies.I also freeze it & eat like ice cream.I wear a colostomy bag(intestines burst).I've used it for about 5-6 years now.Also call a Bariatrics clinic ,speak to a dietican,those patients can only have soft foods for 10-12 weeks after surgery.Krissy D.
