My surgery date is July 5. I need to go ahead and buy my daily Vitamin, Calcium vitamin, and some Protein Powder.

What brands/flavors do most of y'all prefer? My NUT has recommended powder brands Unjury, Isopure, Inspire, or nectar. And where do y'all order it from?

Thanks in advance and sorry if there's already a post about this. I may not have scrolled far enough to find one.

Vitamin World, GNC, Amazon, Cotsco have Protein powder. You can go get individual packets at GNC and VW to try. I like Jay Robb strawberry and dreamsicle and premade Premier chocolate, but everyone is different and tastes change after surgery too - so don't buy mega tubs until you try some.

I love Isopure. I prefer powder to their drinks, but that's a personal choice. All the stuff you mentioned is available on Amazon.com among others.

I use GENEPRO in my coffee every morning. No taste to it. Dissolves completely. 30g of Protein in one small scoop but I've been told it's actually half of that. I'm ok with that! 15g first thing in the morning is great!

I've tried the Nextar Protein Shakes and like all the ones I've tried. I'll see if I can find a link to a sample pack that you can order. Caramel Macchiato was my favorite! Taste just like an ice one from Starbucks

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
