So, I'm pre op but have been trying things out. Ive been using Isopure zero carb vanilla powder. It gives me some pretty significant intestinal distress. (Sorry TMI). Is this a problem for anyone else? Is there Protein that will sit better? I was hoping for a vanilla so I could flavor it with SF Torani. Thanks!

I would try a different Protein if this does not sit right with you. I use Isopure zero carb Dutch Cholocate, I have tried others but always come back to Isopure, its not that I like the Protein Shakes but it is the best that I have tried. Sometimes your body needs to adjust to new things as well. Right after surgery I was taking my multivitiman in a Gummy bear type and every single day I was in the bathroom with serious intestinal problems. If I had meetings or was not going to be by a bathroom I would not eat etc. it was causing me such stress. I even went to the dr. to find out what was wrong, then I started the process of elimination and found out it was the gummy vitimans that was causing my problem so I switched. Ask your surgeon if there is another protein they could recommend, don't suffer there are plenty out there that you can find that agrees with you.

      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! 😞
