I like Unjury flavorless to add to things like Crystal Light, puddings, and yogurt.

I have also used Arbonne and like it but I'm not sure of their Protein make-up so there

might be better ones available.

The easiest shake for me after I was banded or had fills was 1 cup of Water or soy milk,

plus 1 scoop chocolate whey Protein Powder blended with a frozen banana.< /p>

Starting to research Protein shakes, supplements...need advice...i already tried Bariatric Advantage and hated it....any ideas suggestions...

Yes, I hated BA shakes too.. SO GLAD I didn't order a lot of them! There are many messages about shakes, many people try samples from the Vita Lady. (Look in the regular VSG section of this forum)

I don't tolerate Splenda or sucralose that well (it creates a sickinly sweet taste in my mouth that will last 1-2 hours or so after or drinking.) Qivana’s METABOLIQ is made with Steveia and tastes the best! 251.609.5408 is a local distrubuter or you can find someone in your area who does Qivana. I vote these for best taste, although the calorie/protien ratio (I think it is like 200 cal/15 grams of protien) is not as good as the following VHT shakes:

But I did find I like these shakes BEST FOR ON THE GO..

VHT Extreme smoothie vanilla Cream, chocolate or strawberry. Cheapest place to get them http://www.vitacost.com/productResults.aspx?ss=1&previousText=vita&Ntk=products&Ntt=extreme%20smoothie

Your doctor may also let you use greek yogurt blended or cottage cheese.. I like Fage at Publix.. it has 120 calories & 20 grams of protien for a cup! Also some doctors will let you get protien Soups.

      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! 😞
