Can I use body fortress whey powder and 1% milk theses premade shakes are yuk



Recommended Posts

I'm not sure where you are in your journey (your profile says Pre Op, is that still current?), but many of us were told to stick to 100% whey Protein isolate in the early weeks or months after surgery, because it's the most easily absorbed of the protein types. After you're able to get most or all of your protein needs met through eating food, then it doesn't matter as much - I often drink protein blends now (although technically, I don't need shakes at all now, but I like them and still drink them occasionally). Body Fortress is a blend, so it should be fine once you're a few months out, but not immediately after surgery. If you're still a pre-op, then I'd ask my surgeon. Your body probably doesn't need 100% whey protein isolate if you're pre-op, but he/she may prefer that you stick to those since you'll most likely be drinking them for awhile post-surgery. Lots of people like Syntrax products (their nectar line is 100% whey protein isolate). Unjury products are also good, but those you have to get online through Unjury's Web site.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
