Hi guys! I'm still pre op, I'm currently testing out Protein powders and I've read lots of good things about the taste of Mint Cookie and Cookies and cream Protein Powder from Sytrax Matrix line. I've also heard mixed things about whether Matrix is good for bariatric patients because I believe it's not straight whey isolate, but a blend of isolate and regular whey- though I have seen bariatric patients drinking it. Thoughts on this? I want to know if its going to be a good thing to purchase before I go through with it. Thanks all!

whey Protein Isolate is the gold standard, but if it uses whey Protein concentrate or even just regular whey protein it is still good and perfectly acceptable for our use.

The only caveat being that if you are lactose intolerant stick to the isolate.

Thanks for the info! I've been worrying about whether I would be able to digest it alright, this is good to know! I'm going to see if I can get samples of these then! :)

      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! 😞
