pre-op induction drink? Do you mean the Protein shakes? I like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein, and truth be told, I'm really drinking a lot of carnation instant Breakfast.

The other big huge thing of whey protein I bought from Wal- Mart (I think it's six star or something, black and red) I really don't like.

It's all a taste to you thing- the thing I liked about Unjury is they have a sample packet that is pretty inexpensive, and it has 2 chocolate, 2 vanilla, 2 strawberry, 2 chicken broth and 2 unflavored- to try. And I think they're one of the only places that have unflavored, so you can add it to something.

Hope this helps and it's what you meant, LOL. I'm on the pre-op diet right now- surgery on Thursday- already lost 8 lbs!

I went to health store and bought several single serve Protein mica to try it was costly that way but I didn't end up buying a large tub of something I hated. I like NOW it has high protein I have chocolate and no flavor that I add small amt to scrabble eggs Soup ect.

I like the Protein Shakes from costco, they have 30g of Protein per shake and cost about $25 for 18 shakes

Right on! Premier Protein...tastes great and 30 grams is a lot for only 160calories...I have been banded 2.5 years, and I drink one every morning!

Hey Murfbe,

I am going to try the unjury 'unflavored' powder that you can add to pretty much any of the foods to help get in that Protein. As everyone has stated, it really is going to be according to what YOU like. I am doing the Bariatric Advantage banana flavored Meal Replacement shakes. I like to add some fruit to this and to me it taste great! However, I am getting really tired of the shakes and need something more 'clear'.

I am just testing everything before surgery so I know what to buy before hand and I want to be prepared and ready.

Here is the link to try Unjury, I beleive you can buy the single packets to sample..

I like the chocolate "Unjury" shake. I tried a couple different ones from GNC and thought they were way over priced and couldn't tolerate them much to be honest.

      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... :(
