My favorite Protein Powder is progenex. It’s pricey and not significantly different than other Proteins but it tastes amazing. I mix it with almond, coconut or 1% milk and as a treat make a shake with Cookies and cream powder and vanilla halo top. The powder is amazing. I’ve tried vanilla, chocolate, PB chocolate, mocha and cookies and cream. The cookies and cream is the best.

Try getting creative with Protein products you dont like. Drinking them is boring. sugar free pudding, protein fluff, mugcakes smoothies, , Cookies are all things ive done with protein powder. Some are easier/healthier than others, but theres so many creative ways to use the stuff that it can go from disgusting crap to edible and enjoyable
Personally I think you take any protein powder mix it with coconut flour baking powder splenda and skim milk toss in the microwave and itll taste pretty decent (if thanks to only the coconut flour)


Great ideas! Thanks! I didn’t even think about things like mug cakes and stuff. I’m not far out enough to try that but when I am I will try it.

Good saves so I don’t have to throw it out. :)

I’m pre-op right now but I really love the Primal Kitchen chocolate Coconut Protein powder with some PB2 mixed in and blended really really well with a bit of ice.

I'm not sure how long post op this goes for or if all surgeons say it. But my group says no blending Protein drinks for a while after surgery, as if gets too much air in your stomach and causes discomfort/fills you up

I use flavorless Protein from time to time, here is a link https://dochalenutrition.com/. I recommend if you want some to call and not order it online and let Dr. Hale know that Alan pointed you his direction. Also, try tossing a banana or Peanut Butter in any chocolate flavor protein to mask the taste of protein.

Eh blenders don't add that much air and you can stir it after blending.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
