I had surgery at Cleveland clinic in Weston Florida. The protocol after surgery is a tough one on what they allow. As long as the extract has no sugar they allow it. It helps when you need something new on the taste buds. I think the one I got was at whole foods. banana flavor. I use it when I want a change in the shakes. The sugar free instant flavor coffees for great in shake also. I am now allowed caffeine again but find myself doing half calf a lot.

I am now adding a trip to WF to get some banana flavor. I hate the taste/smell of Protein. I've tried 8 different brands and I just don't like it. The extracts make it tolerable enough to drink, and banana would be fun! Thank you!

I think that no matter what Protein you use, you have to use something additional to get rid of that awful taste it leaves behind. I read in the packet I got from my pre op class that you can try sugar free jell-o powder in your shakes. Specifically orange flavor added to the vanilla shakes to make it taste like a creamcicle. I can't wait to try that one!

      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! 😞
