Hi livehealthy, I find the shakes hard to drink as well. Have you tried a clear RTD Protein like Isopure? worked for me :)

Hey! I did look for isopure in Montreal where I live but couldnt find it... I think that worst case scenario ill have to go plattsburg and buy some there I guess...

Also if I am not mistaken I cant drink coffee pre op. Amd the fruits contain to much carbohydrate...

Where did you find it? I too have been experimenting with different flavored and can only stand the chocolate whey Protein by Body Fortress (Wal Mart). The EAS powder vanilla flavor was disgusting. I have yet to order the powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury. I think I will do that today.

Wieder? The weight manufacturer? Hmm, I'm not familiar with a protien supplement from them. I wonder if it's one of heir weight gainers.

Well, either way, don't panic, there are tons of options out there. Give me an idea what you do like, and what restrictions you might have. I'll see if I can help you find something.

I am in UAE, we get them at a kiosk at the mall here. No Unjury here so don't know about those.

Went to GNC today and bought a box of Protein shakes. They taste great! All day today I had the following:

1 shake for Breakfast (whey body fortress chocolate)

1 shake for lunch (GNC. total lean)

Five crackers for snack and an orange ( more head hunger than anything)

Small salad with a piece of baked chicken (leg) that I broke off in the salad.

Pretty good day! I can do this!

Ooh and LOTS of water!

I guess that was the filler for the day!

I'd place it firmly in the "acceptable" category.

Just curious...you know a lot and give good advice. I'm 11 weeks post-op and sick of my Protein drinks. Is it okay to eat met-rx Protein plus bars? The one I've been eating (creamy Peanut Butter crisp) has 310 calories, 30 grams of protein and 3 grams of sugar

They taste way better than some of the others I've tried. I've learned my lesson of buying big without tasting. Some of the ones i have purchased have been intolerable. I will take it slow and try a few then buy a bunch once I see they are tolerable.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
