Hey everyone!

I am 5 days post op. I have to be on my full liquid diet for 2 weeks. I'm getting tired of the health wise Protein drinks my Bari center gave me, and they are gross!! Can I get any suggestions of where to get more? What are the best with the most Protein? Where can I get them?

Premier Protein chocolate has my ENTIRE family now using them for a meal - reasonably close in taste/texture to chocolate milk.

unjury - it's made with a Protein isolate, which is suggested by my doc. I think it's absorbed better, but don't quote me on that.

You can order it on line at www.unjury.com

I like the chocolate Splendor, vanilla and strawberry.

If you prefer the ones made with Water, order a Syntrax Nectar sample pack (or two):

You mix most of them with water. Or you can pick out individual flavors of Syntrax nectar to buy here:

I mixed each packet with 8 oz. of ice water, and the numbers were 100 calories, 24 grams Protein, 0 grams carbs. My favorite flavors are the Roadside Lemonade, Lemon Tea, Grapefuit, Fuzzy Navel, and Twisted cherry.< /p>

We don't have a costco here. I'm talking about watery Protein drinks. The Unjury chocolate and strawberry is good, just tired of the flavor.

What about a SAMs club? I love both choco and vanilla. U can get on Amazon too

My favorite is GNC's Wheybolic Extreme 60. The Protein is a little pricy, but it gives you 60 grams of protein for three scoops. It tastes like HI C fruit punch.

We have tried many Protein powders. Premier Protein shakes are the favorite. Also, be sure and check out SF Torani syrups, or adding Crystal Light powder or SF pudding powder to flavor your shakes. So many choices!

Walmart sells EAS powder and it was okayed by our nutritionist. It does not have the awful chalky taste of Bariatric Advantage powder.

I also like Premier Protein, vanilla and chocolate. I bought the first ones at BJ's, then ordered them on Amazon. Also, I like Muscle Milk and Carnation Instant Breakfast. Good luck.

I see you're in Michigan too. Premier Protein is also sold at Meijer. Haven't tried it yet as I haven't gotten over being sick of the ones I had.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
