I start my full liquids on Thursday after a week on Clear Liquids (i'm SO SICK of isopure! bleh!). I'm going to be drinking my Protein shakes and trying out skim plus or 1% smart balance milk for the extra Protein.< /p>

I'm pretty excited for the sugar free fat free pudding - can't wait to eat something delicious. i HATE adding the unflavored protein to things. i can ALWAYS taste it. i've only tried GNC unflavored so far. Does anyone else have a hard time with the taste of the unflavored Proteins?? any brands i should try?

also, does anyone know where i can get samples of protein besides Bariatric Advantage???? they only have one kind of sample, i'm looking to try a few different brands.

i am allowed to have non-fat, non-greek yogurt that is under 180cals with less than 2g saturated fat, and 14g of sugar per 8 oz. serving. i'm not a huge fan of plain yogurt and was wondering if it would be OK to add some cinnamon to it. has anyone ever tried this/does anyone know if this is difficult for my new tummy to handle?

I could not get through full liquids without Beef bouillon from one of the bariatric websites.It is actually great.The cream of chicken is good too. The shakes and puddings are ok but I can't take too much sweets. In the morning I drink a hot chocolate from a bariatric source ( pour boiling Water in products and stir until smooth, microwaving leaves things thicker ) but again it is sweet.

I bought the minimum amount on two websites DR Choice and Bariatric food source and got to ask for three samples free of anything. Also ask for coupons. Talk to the people before you place an order. Then I bought variety packs ,between the three big sites, of drinks, hot chocolates, shakes, puddings and Hot Drinks. The variety packs run anywhere from 9.55 to $12.00 and you get seven items. Also if you buy stuff and dont like it and have only used one pig. they take it back.

I'm using my full liquid stage to sample. Some are awesome some I take one bite and throw away.

Good luck. I haven't tried this yet but cream of Tomato Soup with a scoop of carnation dry milk is suppose to be good.

I ordered about 30 different samples of various Protein mixes from nashuanutrition.com they make their own packets from the tubs and send along with the invoice a list of how to prepare the brands that you ordered. Was a great site!

I like the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury Protein powder. You can get single serving packets of all their flavors to sample before you buy a full container. My NUT turned me on to this and I have not found any one of them that I don't like. Get them from www.unjury.com

Good luck. BTW the Tomato Soup with carnation dry milk suggestion sounds very tasty.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
