I am 6 days post op. I have been drinking the strawberry Protein Shakes they were the only ones I could find I liked. I was wondering if I could add anything for a different taste. I can barely get it down. I an getting so,tired of the taste.

I was thinking about adding the sf ff banana pudding and blend it. would that work? Or the sf ff cheesecake pudding. Should I blend it or put the powder in it and stir?

I drink the Protein that is in the tubes. Not quite 3oz and it has 26grams of protein. Easier to tolerate since I have to have 100grams a day. I don't have enough room for the shakes and the small amount of protein they have.

Be careful because most Protein in tubes isn't the right kind of protein to take in. Most is gelatin/collegen based with a little whey in it and they call it whey protein. After RNY you need to take in Whey or Soy protein. It's best digested and absorbed by your body.

If you like chicken Soup there is a great powder you can buy online called "unjury". You mix 8 ounces of Water with a scoop of powder and it's equal to 20 grams of Protein. My nurse practitioner recommended it as l struggled to get in all my Protein right after surgery. They also sell a flavorless powder you can add to any liquid to add protein. Be careful of those small protein tubes as my nutritionist said they are not good for you. Good luck!

Does the unjury make your soup thick. I tried that with soup and it was terrible. I didn't mix the powder with Water first. So maybe that's where I messed up.

The Unjury chix soup powder is suppose to be mixed with Water only (luke warm water...can't be boiling water). They do sell a flavorless Protein Powder that you can add to any liquid...no taste. Neither powders make anything thick. If you mixed the chix soup powder with soup...you're probably right...that's why it was gross...lol

I just read on the Unjury website that if the liquid is too hot, it does change the texture of the Protein. The liquid you use has to be lukewarm.

      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.

      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! 😞
