Are you making your own broth/? That really ups the taste. AND will keep the sodium down.

Also, try adding some Nutritional Yeast to the broth. It will add more savory tastiness to the broth. It will taste like "croutons" without adding anything to the texture. You will still only have "broth".

Tomorrow--big day! What are you adding for Protein? Time to think out of the box...

Wish you well and a joyful WLS journey.

I nine days out and I'm killing the broth too. I kinda jazz it up a bit so I don't get bored. Each person is different. I know people who can't keep down the Protein drinks. Whatever works and stays down keep doing it.

Ah thanks ladies!!! I stocked up on premier Protein right before the surgery and my NUT told me in my last appointment that she doesn't recommend them because of the ingredients . I'm still debating ... Every post and person I have followed has swore by premier . I would prefer something pre made on the go...

BTW, the fact you don't feel full is why they tell you don't drink with your meals. Liquids tend to go straight through your sleeve. Liquids on top of solids tends to push it out of your stomach, and you lose the first step of digestion of key nutrients. And if it's out of your stomach it tends to help you over eat down the road. (hint, hint - we really are here to help people succeed beyond their wildest dreams).

Honestly I find the Premier Protein fandom kind of offputting. I'm convinced they are paying people to post about it on here!

So my mom used the premier Protein shakes and she loves them, we only drink the chocolate. I bought some and stocked up in hopes to get a surgery date soon, I've slowly been replacing Breakfast and lunch or Snacks with them but they kinda taste like feet lol probably just me but I can only drink them on ice, and I don't always feel full after one

Why doesn't she like premier? My surgeon specifically recommended premier.

This is another one that the doctors and NUTs are all over the place. My NUT didn't approve any Protein supplement that had whey or soy protein concentrate.....or hydrolyzed Gelatin, or collagen protein... I can't remember for sure now but I think the Premier had concentrate. In fact I never found any pre-made that didn't have protein concentrate.

I followed those instructions right at first but did decide pre-made easier and better....I used the EAS brand.

      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
