I'm almost 5 weeks out and I've been drinking Premier Protein, but everyday that goes by, they make me more nauseous. I threw up this morning. I have some Unjury powder that I put in my Crystal Lite, but the consistency makes me sick. I know I'm being picky. Where do you get Syntrax Nectar? I need something that will go in my Crystal Lite that doesn't make it too thick. What are some good options? I can't get enough Protein from food yet. When can you eat Protein Bars?

Have you tried unflavored Protein? I found one on Amazon that is an unflavored whey isolate that I make smoothies with in the morning. I used vanilla flavored whey isolate for three weeks pre-op and for eight weeks after surgery and I couldn't tolerate it by the end of the eighth week. I am now making smoothies using oj or milk, fresh fruit and frozen berries and it goes down real smooth. You have to be careful regarding carbs, especially from the fruit, but my stomach can handle the Protein again.

Try Protein waters like the Syntrax Nectar or Isopure nocarb drinks. You can buy them either online or at Vitamin stores like GNC and Vitamn Shoppe. If the drinks are too thick, add Water or serve over ice.

@@sbagby1960 - your stomach should be healed, so protien bars shouldn't be a problem. Run by GNC and try Isopure. 40g per bottle. Not everyone likes it but it might work for you.

Could you freeze it and make something like a pudding pop? I can't handle anything thick unless it's frozen. I also can't do anything 'sugar free'. Good luck & hope you find a fix. I tried Special K strawberry Protein Bar (meal bar) and it was very tasty. I ate half and my husband ate half.

If it is a consistency of the drink issue, I would add more Water. Doesn't matter how much water you add, as long as you drink it. I make my daily Protein Shakes with 24 oz of water instead of the 8 oz they suggest. I don't like it at a thick consistency, so that helps me,

I have been using the unjury strawberry lemonade powder in my Water bottle. It was fine the first few days but now the sweetness is nauseating to me. This morning I mixed it with greek yogurt and coconut milk in a smoothie and it was MUCH more tolerable. I think the thicker consistency helped me. The powder in nothing but Water was just yucky.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
