Does anyone use Body Fortress Super Advanced whey Protein Powder? I got it at Walmart. I really like the vanilla in skim milk. Hoping it's just as good after surgery :)

I used it before surgery but can't stand anything milky tasting since surgery. I now use Syntrax nectar strawberry kiwi and unjury chicken Soup

I've been using Gold Standard by Optimum Nutrition. They offer it at GNC although it is a little cheaper through Amazon. I get 5lb containers and its about $53 for 74 servings. I've had chocolate and strawberry so far but they have many many options. Each scoop is 24 grams of pure whey Protein and I mix mine with 12 ounces (normally one scoop per 8 oz, I just like it with 12) of skim milk.

I was told to do instant Breakfast no sugar added after surgery. I add Isopure to it.

Does anyone have a problem with dumping from the sugar in Protein drinks?

Yes I do...I can't keep anything inside me at all. Surgery date was March 5, and so far have not found one Protein Drink that agrees me. Can't eat or drink anything at all. Lost almost 60lbs so far but that is from not eating or drinking. Needless to say I'm totally still in the buyers remorse stage. I don't know what to do to feel better.

I found no carb Isopure works best for people with dumping issues. I just add sf toroni flavors to the vanilla to change it up.

I just bought Isopure zero alpine punch flavor. I must say it is pretty good. Not a fan of milky drinks. This reminds me of crystal light. Not too sweet.

Why do we need these Protein drinks?

Have you had surgery yet?

Why do we need these Protein drinks?

Protein is a major building block to repair your body and to survival. After surgery you are unable to eat large amounts of foods and shakes come in handy to help us get our protein. Everyone tries so many different ones because our bodies change after surgery. Like I can no longer drink any milk base items or anything with sugar alcohols in them or I dump. I also take a large amount of Vitamins as we that have had rny must..

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
