I am post-op, no surgery date yet but it will probably be just after Thanksgiving. Anyway, my question is this: I have heard about a lot of different Protein powders and shakes and I was wondering if anyone knew where we can get samples of the different varieties to see if we are going to like them before buying a whole box full. I'm also wondering if there is a tasteless, unscented powder that we can add to our own broths and shakes to make them protein - especially if the protein varieties are gross. I know that our tastes will probably change post-op so I don't plan on buying too much before surgery but a lot of these powders have to be ordered and I would hate to pay shipping on a case of product and then not like it.

Any ideas or suggestions?

Unjury see a sample pack that includes 2 packets each of chocolate, vanilla, strawberry sorbet, chicken Soup and unflavored. I added 1/2 a scoop to a small carton of greek yogurt and couldn't even tell it was there.

Go to the food forum and you'll find a whole list of places you can get samples.< /p>

If you have a GNC near you, they will let you return things you don't like. It's smart not to buy much before surgery, because people's taste for things does change. I bought an unflavored Protein powder at GNC but it is not tasteless. If I put it in something with a strong flavor, such as crystal lite, it wasn't too bad.

You can also get unflavored from unjury, and I'm sure they have samples listed in the food forum.

these are supposed to taste good. Mine haven't come in yet because I just ordered them yesterday. This brand was suggested to me. Its called nectar and is supposed to taste awesome. It comes in a variety sample pack at http://www.mybariatricpantry.com I also bought an unflavored Protein Powder. I also ordered Isopure samples it is bottled like a sport drink but has a lot of Protein and is supposed to taste good also.

Tons of samples. Good luck!

Also, GNC will let you buy and return unused portions.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
