Oh yeah,but warning! They may not taste the same to you, our taste buds get modified too. Many people find shakes post surgery unbearably sweet, often they cut them to 1/2 strength with. skim or 1% milk. Now me, I have one I haven't heard anyone else say, I find straight Water bitter in taste, I usually flavor it some way and chill it cold, others have to have room- temperature or even warm like decade or herbal teas. Your stomach becomes your guide on such things, amazing a banana-shape or a tiny pouch can rule your life, but if you disregard them, they do have a way of enforcing their rules! But wishing the BEST for YOU!

Thanks for your input... It will be interesting to discover what my tastebuds have to tell me [emoji6] [emoji3]

...also Optifast has a lot more calories and carbs than other Protein drinks/powders...you may want to check if it fits in well with your meal plan.

I had a few extra Optifast packets after my pre-op diet as well, and I ended up giving them to the fam to drink because I didn't want to ingest the extra carbs.

      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! 😞
