I was sleeved 10/6 and I live in Medical Lake, WA. I work in Spokane, WA. I'm down 13 pounds so far and overall feel pretty good. I haven't thrown up one time. Thank God since that was my biggest fear going into this. I've been saving Soups as well. I just strain everything out after I warm it up. Only about 1/4 cup at a time. Which seems to be plenty. I'm pretty happy so far but I too look forward to more options in the future. =)

Carnation Instant breakfast doesnt have alot of Protein in it (only 5 grams per package according to the side of the box). New whey has a liquid Protein in different flavors that has 42 grams of Protein that you can add to cold Water or almond milk and many of the other protein powders have 20-30 grams of protein per scoop.

Check out GNC. The wheybolic 60 is pretty good and meets the requirements. I just use one scoop. vanilla is good. strawberry tastes a little chemically but the chocolate is to DIE for!! Not to sweet but just enough!

Imaher718, once you mix it with something it tastes pretty good....better than the powder IMO. I have been mixing mine with almond milk and a half cup of frozen fruit to make a smoothie OR with flavored crystal light

VSG on 10/13

Clear liquids for one week post op, then semi solid foods (yogurt, Protein shakes)

am also able to start Vitamin regimen on 2nd week post op (Bariatric Advantage multi EA and Calcium citrate, both chewables)

my nutritionist included a nice packet of example meal plans beginning my 2nd week post op. one ingredient included HEB Mootopia fat free milk. I had never tried it but was curious. Apparently its a "designer milk" that has less sugar and more Protein and Calcium that regular milk. The taste is ok but im looking forward to mixing it with powders and fruits with my shakes. Not sure when ill lock in on a powder but i have tried the AMP products and BSN Syntha-6, both very good.

      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.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣
