Body Fortress Super Advanced whey Protein...yea or nay? It's in my budget and tastes better in my opinion. Just not sure if there's anything 'bad' in it. I've been using it for a few weeks.

I don't understand why, unless you get a better supplement. What matters most is whether it is by your nutritionists recommendation or not. You must consider your nutritionist.

I unfortunately don't have a nutritionist.

I use it as well. My nutritionist told me was fine. I've used since right immediately after my surgery

Me too. My dietitian tells us repeatedly at our support groups and office visits that it's most important to get the Protein in. Body fortress is low sugar and low fat. And low price!

Just be careful choosing your Protein. Not all Protein supplements are the same. Some are designed to bulk up and build body mass and may be much higher calorie, and some are designed to help lose fat while repairing and building muscle. Most protein supplements are originally designed to be used w/a body building workout routine. Some protein supplements are specifically designed as a dietary supplement for people who've had weight loss surgery or who have other medical reasons for not being able to eat enough normally (medical use Proteins like Unjury). Cheaper protein supplements are sometimes cheaper for a reason - they have useless fillers added and less quality usable product. They may contain other ingredients that might not be absorbed as well. We spent a good deal of time looking for a protein that had what my body-building husband needed (low calorie, quality protein for muscle building and repair after heavy workout). My protein is slightly different than his and has what I need (quality protein, good nutrition, low calorie). Mine tastes better than his. :-)

Do your research and talk to your nutritionist.

Don't have a nutritionist, that's why I'm posting the ingredients on here, in case someone is knowledgable on what is filler and what isn't.

Do you have a nutritional store that sells products for bariatric patients near you? If you do ask them... they can recommend a good product for you. Even a sports nutrition store will at least be able to tell you what each product is good for so you can make an educated guess. Faunce Corner Nutrition in Dartmouth MA carries a lot of products for bariatric patients. I'm sure they could answer any questions you might have and possibly recommend a good product to you.

      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! 😞
