Have you tried the Isopure drinks? There is 40g of Protein in them. They aren't thick like a shake but like a Gatorade. There are tons of flavors grape seems to be the most mild in flavor. They do leave your mouth dry and a funny feeling on your teeth but I lived off of those after surgery as I couldn't stomach the shakes.< /p>

There are plenty of other ways to get Protein than throiugh shakes. My NUT stopped my shakes after the second week and insisted I get it through natural food, Eat cheese, cottage cheese, eggs, chicken, fish, tuna, greek yogurt.

No problem. GNC has them. It's like 5.00 for a 20 oz bottle. They are kinda different but great Protein in a pinch. They are also lactose free.

Does it have milk. Remember after been sleeve we don't tolerance milk as much. I know they come in different flavor like fruit punch.

Star calling or emailing those companies that sale Protein. Tell them that you would like a sample before you buy and also let them know the you got sleeve and lie a littel bit by say the your nutritionist said that their are very good at making their protein. But you would like to sample their products first. I did and I'm getting some in the mail this week and next week. Good luck.

      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! 😞
