I am 7 days post op and feeling great. I do have an issue with smells really turning me off. I found Isopure to be too stinky so I bought Unjury unflavored powder. 21 g per big scoop. It truly does not have a taste. So far I've used it in soy milk and V-8 juice which my NUT suggested we drink 6-8 oz of daily for its hydration/electrolyte benefits. Best of luck to you!

That V-8 idea is FANTASTIC! So much so, I also got some Clamato, and added the unflavored Protein powder (and my powdered Calcium citrate!!!) to it, and WOW, was that good! 60 calories per 8 ounces, 12 carbs. What a really great change of pace, and it just hits that spot! Thanks for the idea!

I have probably spent a couple hundred in Protein Powder. My stomach now retches at any Protein powder I try. I can maybe get in only one shake a day. I have been living off of popsicles and sorbet just so I don't pass out. I know my surgeon is going to be mad Monday but I'm trying.

How are you with the unflavored Protein Powder? Does it bother you, as well? If so, I'm thinking you may have a serious intolerance of whey, and may have to find an alternate source for Protein. Soy (tofu), pea, and others are out there, maybe do a google search. Have you tried any alternatives yet? How are they on your new tummy? I guess I would call you NUT to see if they have any suggestions for you. All the best to you....

Tried it and I swear it has a flavor. I do not know if it's maybe intolerance to whey or something else.

Yes, even though they don't flavor it (hence the "unflavored" description of the product), there definitely is one! It sure sounds like you have an intolerance to it. Maybe call your NUT for suggestions. There are other types of Protein out there. Let us know what you find out and figure out what is good for you, if you don't mind. Thanks!

      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.

      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!!
