How much?

[MissKatt 26]

How much Protein Powder have you stocked up on? I'm a little curious as to how much I should have on hand for at least a month.

I plan to buy 6 cases of premere Protein and 2 tubes of Isopure and my surgery not until jan.

I don't have a date quite yet, hoping to get that on the 15th when I meet with my surgeon again. *fingers crossed* It should be in November though. I've been doing the process since May. It seems like it's been forever!

I think it would be wise to grab a few more Unjury protein mixes then, thanks for the input!

Lol I just ordered two Unjury I hop I like them when it's time.

Just make sure you sample stuff first. And keep in mind that your tastes will change post op.

Gnomekast. Thank you

Thanks, I did! I got chicken broth mostly for the beginning. I plan on picking up some unflavored kind as well.

Yeah, I've got samples I'm going to try this week too. I'm really sick of chocolate pure Protein right now..and I don't need to start my pre op until the 12th. But I'm going to sample the stuff I have this week and then decide what to buy in bulk.

After reading how so many bought the giant tubs if this and that I thought sampling would be better.

Also. I got free samples this week from Bariatric Choice, and I bought the sample pack from unjury.com. It came with a small mixer and thermometer! :-)

I wouldn't stock up too much. What you can tolerate before surgery may be very different after surgery. I ended up returning a couple of unopened containers of Protein powder & throwing out the remains of an opened one. I still have a little of one flavored one & I tried it again yesterday - no go, it still sat like a rock in my stomach. I now use unflavored whey isolate Protein Powder & can add whatever flavor I want.

Today I got to progress to soft foods & discovered that my stomach does not like salmon! The first time since surgery I have actually thrown up.

I bit the bullet and ordered the tubs because shipping is costly and quite slow to my location. I just want to make sure I have it on hand lol

Oh my! I tried Salmon for the first time about a year ago. I figured since I'm in Alaska... why not try the freshest, best tasting stuff while I'm here. (I refused to eat seafood before). I loved it though. I hope I can tolerate it after.

What Peggy said. I ended up returning several containers of Protein powders because I couldn't take the sweetness post-surgery. Get yourself some unflavored powders and lots of samples - nearly all the bariatric sites offer sample sizes.< /p>

Just sharing my experience... I had no problem with Protein Drinks while on pre op, but I had to force it through liquid stage post op. I feel like I wasted so much money on powders (and many other things, lol!) that I will never consume. This is not typical, but definitely a possibility.
