After RNY gastric bypass surgery, the three most important daily requirements are Protein, fluids and Vitamins. After surgery your taste buds change and Protein shakes can taste very nasty. It is important that you find a Protein shake that you can tolerate, you don't have to like it, only tolerate it. So keep experimenting. There are many types available. I used Muscle Milk Light (vanilla Cream) powder with Water. I blended in a half a banana to give it some taste.

I'm about 1 week out and still in Clear Liquids per my docs guidelines, I switched to New Whey Liquid Protein shots. They are still pretty nasty, but I can tolerate 4oz to get 42grams of protein! Then it frees my Fluid intake up for Water and things I actually like. At first I was using Isopure and protein2O and I had to drink them all day long to get my Protein in and it didn't leave much room for anything else.

I love the Isopure from GNC and I get the vanilla so I can add in sugar free flavored syrups. Whatever kind I want! I blend it with a little Ice. They are easier and taste better to me this way! I have peach, strawberry, cherry etc. flavors. Hope you find something you like or even love! :)

      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? 🤷‍♀️
