I read the entire thread and didn't get any hint of an attack on anyone. Sometimes opinions can come across in an unintended way but I don't see it on this thread personally.

That said, I LIVE on Protein shakes!! Could not get through without at least one Muscle Milk per day. Funny how each doctor is different from another.

I am completely satisfied with one for Breakfast, I eat my Protein the rest of the day. It works for me and that's all I can hope for!

I went for my first fill on Tueday, and I talked with the nutritionist about my worries. I told her that I maybe get in 45g of Protein a day. She asked me my height, and then she told not to worry to much about it. She said they recommend 50-60g a day. They do not like you to eat snackes so I will have to get my Protein during my three meals. The only problem is I love eating Cereal for Breakfast (Special K original), and it doesn't have much protein in it. Maybe 15g total with milk.

What protein breakfast bars are good? I like the Special K bars, but I don't know of any other good ones.

Speaking of Protein - anybody using unflavored Isopure? Apparently you can mix this into hot foods w/o it caking, gelling etc. Wanted an opinion before I bought any.

I use GNC 100% whey Protein unflavored. I mix it in my oatmeal and Protein Shakes.< /p>

I have the unflavored Isopure, as well as the chocolate and vanilla flavors. From what I have experienced so far, I can mix the Isopure into anything, hot or cold.

Special K Protein cereal is great, as are "OH Yeah" Protein Bars.

I have to be careful with the potein bars because they're so good :unsure:! I buy them online.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
