You could not tell me I was not going to continue to love chocolate and vanilla after this surgery. No way....my fantasies involve chocolate falling from the sky! I didn't go too crazy and I loved my pre-op chocolate shakes and I made sure I had plenty on hand. But fast forward to today, 5 days post-op and I cannot even stand to look at them. Luckily, I had been on this site long enough to go get some Syntrax nectar Fuzzy Navel. Yum.

I would never drink fruity stuff before. I hope my tastes change back soon...or I'll be selling Premier Protein and powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury on Craigslist!

Yes, that is one of the hazards of stocking up before surgery. Your taste buds change. After surgery I also thought chocolate Protein Shakes did not taste good. As my meal plan progressed I was eventually able to get most of my Protein requirement from meals and no longer drink protein shakes. But I do drink during the winter a warm glass of cocoa (no sugar added). And it's very enjoyable.

I agree! I bought everything in bulk before surgery and ended up having to give everything away because it all made me sick afterwards. I can still drink the Premier Protein chocolate flavored shakes, but I almost gagged on those because I get sick of the milky taste. I agree the syntax nectar Protein is great added to your water bottle. I also add a packet of Crystal light to sweeten the deal. I wish it had as much protein as the shakes, but it's better than nothing! What has bothered me the most are the Vitamins. I bought all gummy vitamins before my surgery on recommendation from my doctors office, and enjoyed them. Fast forward to after surgery, and the Gummy texture and flavor made me completely gag. I had to give all those away to my sister, LOL.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
