​I also buy Body Fortress, in chocolate only. I add some Decaf instant coffee and some peppermint extract with the milk and tons of ice and make a thick shake. I have one every day for Breakfast and love them. The coffee and peppermint kills the medicine taste from the shake

My dietitian told me to buy Cliff Protein bars, 20g of Protein. I love the chocolate mint ones. (Yes I love chocolate and mint). I keep the bars cold

For protein how about ground beef? Like meatballs with Tomato sauce or sweet and sour meatballs. For the sweet and sour I use low sugar grape jelly and equal part of chili sauce. Put them into a pot and heat until they come to a boil. Make your meatballs (or turkey, chicken etc.) put into the pot and turn on low for about 1 hour. They are great. I usually have 3-4 per serving depending on the size I make. They freeze well, too.

Thanks Carolinagirl! Can I get that brand on Amazon? I live in Germany right now and choices are slim. Great idea on meatballs, Dylan! I will definitely try that!

I had trouble getting them in as well. I found Syntrax Nectar works great. They have all sorts of flavors and the fruit ones taste just like Crystal Light. It's a lot of trial and error before you find something that makes it easy to get down.

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

      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! 😞
