Hi everyone. So my Bypass is scheduled for Wed 7/20 and I’m trying to get everything prepared. Which Protein Shakes is everyone drinking after surgery? I ordered the sample packet of powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, but I have to wait until surgery to order more. I know my taste buds will change and I cannot afford to waste any loot on something I may not like.

Any advice or suggestions for the hospital visit? I also wanted to know what did people buy for their first week post-op?

I drank Premier Protein before surgery and I still drink it nearly every day 11 months post surgery. I find the strawberries and cream flavor to be super gross, but the chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and bananas and cream are all really delicious. I sometimes cut them with milk if I want something of a thinner consistency, and it still tastes great.

As for the hospital stay, I would recommend comfy clothing, chapstick, and wipies.

The first week post op, you may be in a bit of pain/discomfort and might find it easier to sleep in a recliner rather than getting up and down from your bed. I couldn't lay flat for the first several days without a lot of pain, but some other people can deal with it no problem. So just be aware that you may want to do that. :)

Hope this helps! Good luck to you, and see you on the other side. :)

Where did you find the caramel and bananas and cream premier drinks at? I'm scheduled for Aug 5, 2016 trying to get all my stuff together. I've already drink the chocolate.

We found them at Walmart in a 4-pack with the rest of the supplements/bars/shakes/etc. :)

So i go to my local GNC and they have a return policy, you can try a Protein supplement and if you dont like it you can return for full refund. That is what i have been doing myself :)

I'm jealous! My Sam's had the regular three flavors on sale, but we haven't had the new ones there yet!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
