Planning my post-op diet



Recommended Posts

Thanks for the helpful info! You guys are amazing.

I agree about ordering the samples. I'll check that out. That was why I got these at costco. I can return them, even if they're open and partially used. I wanted to try one, and didn't want to wait. :)

Anyone know anything about Muscle Milk brand Protein drinks? Other people (non WLS people) are telling me to check them out. Are they worth it?

Muscle Milk light tasted "okay" to me, but had a funky smell. I'm probably the pickiest person in the world when it comes to taste and texture.

I affectionately call Isopure- IsopuKe. But, I know several others that love that stuff. The floaty particles of Protein really made it disgusting.

Optimum whey available at bodybuilding.com is one that I could tolerate taste, and texture wise. I developed lactose intolerance, and whey is a milk product so they all ended up making me puke at some point.

Unjury is my choice of Protein Powder. I put 1/2 scoop of unflavored in my coffee in the morning. I put a scoop of unflavored in my fruit smoothies. I make chocolate shakes with the chocolate flavored. I have several recipes from support group members on variations of shakes too. I love shakes and they make me think I'm having dessert, so I try to experiment with the recipes. Chocolate Mint shake, Chocolate Peanut Butter shake, etc. I always come back to unjury and they ship so quickly and efficiently. For quick on the go shakes, I usually get the Kelloggs.. not the best thing, but easy to pick up at the grocery store and keep a few lying around just in case.

      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.

      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! 😞
