I'm getting sleeved - Protein Help



Recommended Posts

Finally met my surgeon today. I'll be getting sleeved on Wednesday, March 16th!!! I am so excited. Anyhow, I am going to start getting all my Protein supplements in order, within the coming weeks, for pre and post surgery liquid diet. What are people drinking? What are your favorite flavors? My baratric center recommends powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury? I've looked into fusion complete nutrition protein and baratric advantage. Any others worth looking at?

Thank you ????

Start by getting a variety of samples since everyone's tastes are different, and your tastes may change post-op.

You can get samples directly from unjury. Try the chicken Soup and the unflavored. Also, get a sampler from Syntrax. I really like the Syntrax Nectars, especially Fuzzy Navel.

Premier Protein ready to drink are my favorite. I like all three flavors but chocolate is my favorite.

I also like GNC Lean shake 25 in Orange Cream. If you have a nearby GNC store you can usually get samples.

Quest has some new Protein powders and I got some samples from their site recently.

In addition to shakes, I really like the ProtiDiet liquid beverage concentrates the first few weeks. That is what they gave me in the hospital and they really helped me to reach my protein target for the first weeks.

My surgeon also allowed the ProtiDiet Soups in Tomato basil and creamy chicken which were a great alternative to sweet shakes.< /p>

What she said. I liked all the ones mentioned above.

Besides the unjury website and Amazon, you can get samples of dozens of Protein powders at Nashua Nutrition. I kept a score chart so I could keep track of which ones I liked. (Bariatric fusion and Bariatric Advantage came in with two thumbs down)

I used (and still use) Bariatric Advantage. I like that it has all the vitamins/nutrients in it. I just went with the one my surgeon's office recommended for the preop diet. I did try the unflavored unjury, but i was super sensitive to the Protein taste/smell at the time (due to having only Protein shakes for 4 weeks straight), so I did not enjoy it. It might be different now. Good luck! It's an exciting time!!

Oh, also see if you can get sample packs/individual servings before buying a whole bag/tub of something. It will probably save you money in the long run.

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

      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! 😞
