Hello to all,

I am drinking Bolthouse Farms Protein Drinks. These are the only ones I can keep down most at 19 grams of Protein a bottle to 30 a bottle. The bottles are 15.2 fl.oz. Please let me know if anyone has used these and what you think of them. If you know of any others that are nice tasting please let me know. I do not like sweet tasting drinks as in over sweet.

Thank you all.

Mary

Hi Mary: I am using Muscle Milk Light (Chocolate). I mix it with 1/2 cup of ice and it is not too bad tasting and not too sweet. Have also tried Carnation Inst. BF just for a change and that tastes better to me. Its 15 G of Protein when mixed with fat free milk and very low fat content.

Tomorrow our day bf surgery......we can't have any of these drinks correct???? Only Clear Liquids. Let me know what you have been told.

Good Luck on this journey we are sharing together.......I hope it goes well for both of us with no complications. I will look for you at Syosset Hopital if I am feeling up to it. Don't really know what to expect. May God watch over us both in trying to change our lives for the better.

Hi Chris,

I'm not sure so I'm going to stick to clear's like Water coffee Soup Jello and look over my paper work on what to eat. I have been told nothing after 11pm not even water. Think I will get up early and then go to sleep around 10pm.

Did they tell you to make sure that you wash your belly button out funny but true. I too will out for you. As I am on a CPAP machine they will keep me over night. Most of the Dr's G's patient's were told that they would stay over night. Not all of us were on a CPAP machine.

May god watch over you as well my friend.

Thanks Mary: Yes they told me about the Belly button. I am using alcohol & a Q-tip. I guess its close to where they are going? I have to stay overnight as well even though I do not have a CPAP machine. I think all his patients stay over. I guess its a good thing so we can be monitored. Make it come quick now. Tomorrow should be a tough one to get thru. Good Luck again ! We need all we can get at this point.

Chris

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
