I don't usually do Protein shakes, but that is cuz my Dr said not to. He wants me to get my Protein from foods only. But occasionally I will have one.

I'm only 15 days post op and am just starting on some real food, so I am only supposed to do Protein Drinks in order to get my all my Protein in. Pre op, I was a shake-drinking fool. Post op, I'm having a difficult time getting them down. Honestly, I haven't been able to get in two a day. Some days I can't even get one in.

Jay robb whey Protein shakes are awesome! No after taste and not gritty at all. The vanilla if u add 1 tsp of vanilla extract tastes just like ice cream. Especially if u out it in the freezer for 30 min!

That's a nice tip. I use Whey too and I love it. Make it with skim milk: 38 grams of Protein

This is what I drink twice a day. 8oz gives me 44g of protein... It's good and no chalky after taste. Got it at GNC. This is what was recommended to me when I let them know I had surgery. I didn't do Protein Shakes after surgery cause it just felt too thick and I'd gag but since I returned to it 2x a day I been losing like crazy!!

Can't really see picture, can you please tell me the brand? Thanks. I can't eat enough to get all my protein in but haven't found one yet that doesn't make me dump.

      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.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
