So I was having issues with the eas and Costco brand protein shakes after my surgery, so today I tried the Atkins cafe caramel shake and oh my it's so yummy and I'm able to keep it down!!

That's good to read, and we all need to have the best nutrition possible, especially post op. But be careful with reading the ingredients. I keep some Atkins shakes in my refrigerator, but they are only for when I am traveling or on the boat, and don't have a way to mix my regular shakes. They don't contain 100% whey isolate Protein.

Nutrition is quite important, and 100% whey isolate Protein Shakes are the best choice for bariatric patients. My surgeon stressed this to all of his patients.

You have many options to choose from, but your search criteria should only include the whey protein. Proper nutrition is key, and with my shakes mixed with 1% milk, I am able to get 37g of protein per shake.

As you return to solid foods, shakes will become less important in your diet, but periodically you will need to go back on them (ie immediately following a fill) so you will be needing a good one for a long time!

Best wishes as your journey continues...
