I wanna Nutri- bullet, I wanna Nutribullet, anybody listening? Nope didn't think so, have to buy one MYSELF!
Frustr8 I hear you. I want one too but am afraid to push my luck. My honey made sure I have a nice blender and a hand and electric chopper. He has gone out his way to help me succeed. Don't want a bullet bad enough to upset him after all that. [emoji300]

Im very new to the gastric sleeve. I had my surgery dec 6th. I'm having a horrible time with trying new ways to get the Protein Shakes down, I found putting them in the blender they literally turn to foam. I have a few recepies but I'm currently on 3 shakes a day and need new ways to drink them. Im currently still only on bariatric high Protein liquids stage.. any advice would be wonderful! Thank you

I used premiere prior to surgery and switched to Unjury after surgery. I found I do the best with Classic chocolate with almond milk mixed in the shaker bottle. It seems to go down the easiest. I started with unjury's sample pack to see which flavor I liked. Mixing them in a blender seems to froth them up too much and then I can't get them down.

Unjury is actually specially made for bariatric surgery and is more easily digested than some of the others. Try different shakes until you find one that works for you. Best of luck on your journey.

You can get the unflavored protien powder and add it to broth for a change

I'm drinking premade GNC Lean shakes with 25g Protein per 14 oz shake. I'm 15 days post-op. I like the chocolate ones. I also bought some Pure Protein Clear Shakes at Sam's Club (premade) that are fruit punch flavored
Not sure off hand which clear (red) fruit flavor Protein Drink I picked up at Walmart. Has 15g of protein but I personally do not like them. The kind I got tasted like unsweetened cough Syrup. Not good. I think I got the wrong thing. Lol! I have strange taste preferences after surgery for a few things.

Probably what passes for fruit punch, yeah sometimes they are weird in taste. What I did was 6oz(1/3 cup) punch Protein, 6oz minute maid 15 fruit drink and filled up the rest of the way to 16oz by Water.< /p>

I have not, mainly because my doctor says that I have to use the brand he suggested until two weeks after surgery. Im using Unjury.

If you ore make your shake and jet it set in the fridge the foam / bubbles go away in about 15 minutes. When you mix it up just gently tip the container a few times.

For a while post surgery I relied on the own-branded Protein Soups you get from the BariatricPal Store. I bought a mixed pack and tried them all to pick my favourite.

@Newbie34can you post a photo of the protein h2go bottle? I have never seen it here in New Zealand, I don’t think...

Unjury shakes with either the Unjury shaker bottle or the GNC shaker bottle (has mixer thingie inside). They will be less foamy and mix very well. Add 2T of sugar free Torani Syrup (pick your flavor) and you will love it. Or add a little bit of PB2 powder. I’ve been testing shakes for the last 3 mos to prepare for post op days. There are a LOT of options out there. Unjury also has Soups with Protein.

I did the same but made the mistake of stocking up on some and my tastebuds and preferences totally changed post surgery. I had shelves of stuff I had to give away. I had an endless sweet tooth and now I hate sweet things especially diet sugary stuff.

      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!!
