Hi guys, I'm 28 days away from surgery and looking for recommendations for Multivitamins and Protein shakes.

Want to buy soon , what was everyone's favorite ? What works best with no least complications?

I have heard of some shakes and Vitamins making people sick. Thank you in advance

I would get samples of different Protein powders. I know that some of the bariatric supply stores on line will send you samples--some free and some charging shipping and handling.

I know that GNC has sample size portions of their Quest Protein powders for about two dollars a pouch---the brand I use .

There are sooo many to choose from. Keep in mind, though that your tastes may change after WLS. What you like pre-op you may not like post-op. I would suggest not stocking up to too many of one brand.

Your bariatric team should recommend what Vitamins you need to take. I am five years out, so I use vitamins from CVS. Check with you surgeon's office for recommendations.

Best of luck on your WLS journey. I hope it will be a joyous one.

I'm not a Walmart personal all but I know they carry alot of pre and post op products. After getting my chest xray at Elite I decided to go into the Walmart next door. I emerged 2 hours later and $200 short. I read every label. I stocked up on many Protein powders, ready-to drink Proteins, even singles to see which ones I like; powdered crystal light and snapples, I stocked up on broths, sugar free syrups for flavor, protein clear drinks, Vitamin drinks. I found it easier to shop there then say Vitamin Shoppe or GNC where it can be overwhelming and sales clerk single you out.

I tried several kinds of Protein and settled on Premier. It tastes good and is 30 grams of protein for the same volume of Fluid that others with less protein have. (I didn't want to have to drink 4 shakes a day. Lol).

I agree: Premier Protein shakes give more grams of protein per shake than any other brand. 30. Flavors: chocolate, vanilla, strawberries and cream, and my new favorite : bananas and cream. Cases were on sale at Sam's these last several weeks. Vitamins; I use Optisource Bariatric Chewables, 4/day, 2 in am, 2 in pm. One bottle of 120 lasts a month. Have it set up thru Amazon to automatically send me a bottle once a month. $18.18 each. I don't need any supplements at all with this brand. They are complete.

Imo unjury tastes the best, and the unflavored can be sprinkled on almost anything, but I got a couple of cases of premixed Premier Protein. It's just so convenient not to have to shake up something when you pretty much feel like crap.
