I am on 6 day post surgery and I have been in full liquids and also Protein shakes. I don't like the Premier Protein shakes does anyone have any other kind they like or make their own?

I haven't been told yet which Protein shake I am supposed to use but pre of I have been using Body Fortress Advanced whey with 60 grams of Protein and the chocolate on is the one I use , it tastes pretty good and it has good protein but I buy it at Walmart for about 20.00 not sure if you can use it but it's worth asking about.

I have always preferred making my own to using the premade ones. My favorite Protein powders are Unjury (Chocolate splendor, or chicken Soup made with warm Water instead of milk for a savory change), Syntrax Nectar (cappuccino or chocolate truffle but they have tons of flavors), Chike Iced coffee (or really any of their flavors), Syntrax Matrix -- any flavor, and Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard, any flavor but especially their double chocolate flavor.

I usually mix mine with unsweetened vanilla almond or cashew milk, and add a couple of teaspoons of instant coffee.

Okay thank you!! I am going to try unflavored Protein and add it 2 my Soups

That's exactly what I do. I can't taste the Syntrax nectar Unflavored, but it doesn't have as much Protein as other brands. I can't taste it at all. I've also added it to hummus and to ricotta. I love that I can't tell that it's in there.

Anyone have suggestions for other brands of unflavored/tasteless Protein powder?

I put the Premier Protein caramel shake in Decaf coffee or sugar free hot chocolate and that helps. I know you don't like the premier, and I'm not a fan of it either, but this way you can't taste it. And I also put a scoop of unflavored Protein in it to get even more protein in. Be careful though because some people become lactose intolerant after surgery :(

I know there's a lot of controversy around GENEPRO, but my surgeon's office recommends it. And I love it.

      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

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
