Post op day 5. Doing really good. Getting all my fluids in. Got in most of my Protein yesterday. But wait.. I'm sick of all this sweet crap. I do like my strained Soups.

So far I've tried muscle milk light, unjory chocalate splendor, various isopures and I hate them. Tooo sweet, no substance just plain Yuck. Pours down drain. What else can I try?

UJURY is the best...believe me I tried everything and spent no telling how much. STILL even with the best tasting shake it gets boring tying to get the Protein in!

My favorite is the ready to drink special K milk chocolate. It has 190 calories and 10 grams of protien. Not the lowest calorie or highest protien but unlike the others it actually tastes good and doesn't get poured down th he sink. I like to mix the shake with a quarter or half cup of low fat milk and a splash of coffee (cuts the sweetness).

I can't get the drinks down at all either. I'm 4 weeks out. Don't know what I'm going to do.

Early on I was able to tolerate Unjury chicken Soup. Just like chicken broth with lots of protein; you can also use it to make mashed potatoes. I was strictly Unjury chocolate Splendor and Unflavored my first few months, then branched out to some Synthrax Nectars and smoothie King Gladiator in vanilla. I make a yummy iced or hot latte with my Kuirig, nonfat milk, a little SF French vanilla Creamer and the vanilla Gladiator. It's not too sweet, and you could do Decaf if its still early days for you. It gets better!! Strive to work toward at least 60+ grams of protein!!

Another vote for Unjury chicken Soup. One scoop is 21g of Protein and I actually like the taste. I make some when I get home from work and drink it from a coffee mug.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
