Haven't tried it yet but will be. Thanks for the advice. I've tried many Protein shakes and I hate them all so far.

You are so in my thoughts. I'm 12 days out and have tried my fair share of Protein. Still searching for something that I like...urgh..lol.

Bariatric Advantage tastes metallic to me, too. I thought I would not be able to have surgery if I had to drink BA. Then I tasted unjury and felt I could live with it. I think it may be the Vitamins in BA that give it that taste.

Thanks all for the advice. Yes I've tried muscle milk and I like it but for some reason most of the Protein I've tried all taste like metal to me. Oh lord don't ask me why I just said metal. It just has a weird after taste that makes me nauseous. I guess I have to keep trying until I find one I like. I sure don't want to be bald. No way! I'm curious to try the unflavored in coffee. I love coffee so this might be it. Looking forward to try this. Thanks again all. I really appreciate your comments.

I wondered if they just wanted me to buy from there.. They sell Celebrate, Bariatric Advantage and unjury brands

This is your answer. Personally I stopped buying anything from my nutritionist/hospital store after a discussion/disagreement concerning Vitamins. In the end, you have to do what works for you, not what your nutritionist sells.

Keep trying until you find a shake/drink that you can tolerate. Hit GNC or other such stores and see what they offer in the way of samples/individual sizes or jump online and order some sample packs. That way you can try without wasting large amounts of money. Here are a couple of links but there are more out there.

Have you tried unflavored or vanilla Protein with the Crystal Light fruit Punch? I've found it's. a nice change from just plain favors. You can use Water or milk.

Ok so I tried SYNTAX vanilla bean. It has 23g of Protein. I mixed it with skim milk which has 11 g per cup. It taste pretty good. I think my problem was in texture. The thickness in the shake. Using the powder with skim milk made it thinner and more tolerable to drink. I think I'm gonna stick to this for now. Not bad for 33 g in one cup. I can do this!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
