Fairlife Milk is ultra purified, contains no gluten, lactose, has higher Calcium, higher Protein, and 1/2 of the sugar. Regular milk has 8g protein, Fairlife has 13grams. I love Isopure powder.I get the zero carb powder so I don't have to worry about carbs and the milk only has 6 carbs in 8 oz. Isopure is not gritty and mixes well, but as I have found, protein powders have a different taste for different people. I have tried a few others and couldn't handle them, especially designer whey powder. If you have 3 cups a day, you have 60+ grams of protein, and 24 oz of Water.< /p>

Im right behind you with my revision from band to bypass on June 23...next tuesday! You are making me feel so much better. Thanks so much for posting. I feel like taking out this band is going to give me so much more pain. Anyways ill be following your journey. Please keep us updated :)

My dietician told me about Fairlife milk too. It is highly filtered. After my bypass, I became allergic to milk, so I started using Fairlife. It is great!!! You can get it at most grocery stores now. I am a band to bypass too. Congrats on the big decision! I am so glad I got rid of that band. It never settled right for me. The bypass is so much more practical for real life. And I lost all my weight very easily by following the rules, Protein first, then some veggies and fruit. But it takes awhile to get to the regular food stage. Hang in there and remember your stomach needs time to heal right and that is why you can't eat regular foods for awhile. Good luck! Tracy

I am definitely learning that this is true @@Tlmarsh and the others who have posted. I still do not have any appetite. I do not desire to eat or drink, but I am slowly drinking my Protein and Water daily. The sight, smell of food from my family doesn't bother me at all. I'm taking things slowly and enjoying the idea of what my new life is going to be. I did have to get on the scale, just to see what it said. Tomorrow will be one week post op and I am down 12lbs. I wish everyone continual success.

@@Dibaby44 I spent 3 nights at the hospital. My doctor wanted to be very cautious since I had a revision.

Don't be nervous. I had absolutely no fear. I was so overwhelmed with faith and excitement! Went in strong and came out stronger! You can do it and you will be just fine!

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
