I really like the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates, especially while on Clear Liquids. Each packet has 15 grams of Protein. They gave them to me while I was in the hospital recovering. I used them over crushed ice, undiluted initially. You can also drink them diluted with Water.< /p>

Have you tried the Syntrax nectar?? They are about the only Protein powders I can stomach. I have never tried the slushy, so not sure if they will froth, but I did do them over lots of crushed ice. One of the reasons I like them so much is because they are fruit flavors & more like "juice" ... cherry, grape, apple, grapefruit, lemonade, iced tea, etc. You might want to give them a try.

Just a warning/heads up -- just because you love really cold drinks pre-op doesn't mean you will post-op. Right after surgery you may have to try different temperatures to see what works.

I have developed a taste for Lemonade post surgery. Never liked it before, but now I love a glass of cold diet Lemonade. I like the Chick-Fil-A version and I make it at home. It's takes time but it's so delicious. I use 2-3 lemons and spends, lots of ice and put it in the magic bullet. Makes a nice slushy drink with zero calories.

Thanks y'all! I am waiting on my syntax nectar samples to come in. I ordered them last week! I hope my tastes don't change too much after surgery but if they do these ideas will at least get me through my pre-op diet! Most of the "smoothie" textures I am not a fan of cause hey are too thick. Yuck. I have already been drinking skim milk for years so I am not used to that full fat whole

Milk smoothie texture. :(

      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... :(
