I loved the premier shakes Pre- Op. Maybe a week or so post op, my taste buds changed and everything, especially the Premier and almost all Protein Shakes just gross me out. I did try the Fairlife Core Protein Shake with 26g of Protein and it is wonderful. Keep in mind they come in different protein amounts and they all taste different. Example the Fairlife protein shake with 24g of protein and the Fairlife ELITE protein with 42g or protein ALL taste different. To me, the best one is the Fairelife Core with 26g of protein.

Mmm thanks everyone, I finally tried Premier Protein and it was yummy. The other shake I liked was Quest but when I looked at the nutritional content , there were like no Vitamins. It just had Protein. I think it’s important during the liquid phase to get as many vitamins as possible. Thanks everyone for your input

I like Ensure Max a small container has 30g of Protein. The powders made me burpy and I discovered I had to eat plant Protein Powder. I also found when I made a protein smoothie, it had too many carbs. I'm basically not into fixing and cooking so when on liquids I lived on the Ensure Max - 2 of them got my Proteins in. Full liquids I added cream of chicken soup- blended to get the tiny pieces of chicken blended. Warm liquids tended to really fill me up. When I got to soft foods I did one Ensure a day and ate cottage cheese, refried Beans, and tuna in the packets the 2.5 oz. I added seasonings to it and learned to like it. I added foods very gradually still haven't added eggs as some people had issues. But now enjoy most meats, if I shread them and eat very slowly.

ABSOLUTELY this. Love Premiere before surgery. Can't stand them now. I lean on the Iso-Pure drinks by Natures best. They are great if you don't want thick chocolate oor other sweet shake like drinks. They taste like weird Koolaid. The 20 oz bottles have 40 g of protein too.

I found this new product on BP Store: Pre Protein 20 Liquid Pre-digested, I really liked it, it is a nectar-thick concentrated protein but it gives 20 grams in an oz. A baraitric dietitian friend of mine was also familiar with it and she also suggested it to her patients.

I mainly liked the high concentration and i sometimes mix with a few oz. of Water - but remember to keep the volume low. It is sugar, carb, fat free which is a big plus for me, I stay away from most of these shakes because they either have carbs or whey protein which I shouldn't have.

Premier Protein has always been my favorite.
I like chocolate and salted caramel over ice.
I found vanilla fair life and love it too. I’m not a vanilla fan but I put half scoop of chocolate in and love it. Isagenix birthday cake is amazing too. Wish i could find a good birthday cake brand without ordering from them.

I'm also a fan of Premier Protein. I usually drink vanilla or chocolate, both are great and very affordable at costco. But the real treat is the pumpkin Spice. PP only put's them out during the holiday season and I have never seen them in stores, but dam they're so good! I did find them at walmart.com once and I loaded up.

      So I guess after gastric bypass surgery, I cant eat flock chips because they are fried???  They sell them on here so I thought I could have them. So high in protein and no carbs.  They don't bother me at all.  Help.

        It's possible for a very high fat meal to cause dumping in some (30% or so) gastric bypass patients, although it's more likely to be triggered by high sugar, or by the high fat/high sugar combo (think ice cream, donuts). Dietitians will tell you to never do anything that isn't 100% healthy ever again. Realistically, you should aim for a good balance of protein, carbs, and fat each day. Should you eat fried foods every day? No. Is it possible they will make you sick? Maybe. Is it okay to eat some to see what happens and have them for a treat every now and again? Yes.

      I'm not at all hungry on this liquid pre-op diet, but I miss the sensation of chewing. It's been about two weeks––surgery is in two days––and I can't imagine how I'll feel a couple of weeks post-op. Tonight, I randomly stumbled upon a mukbang channel on YouTube, and it was strangely soothing... is it just me, or is this a thing?

        I actually watched cooking shows during my pre-op, like Great British Baking Show. It was a little bizarre, but didn't make me hungry. I think it was also soothing in a way.

      How do you figure out what your ideal weight should be? I've had a figure in my head for years, but after 3 mths of recovery I'm already almost there. So maybe my goal should be lower?

        Well, there is actually a formula for "Ideal Body Weight" and you can use a calculator to figure it out for you. This one also does an adjusted weight for a person who starts out overweight or obese. https://www.mdcalc.com/calc/68/ideal-body-weight-adjusted-body-weight

        I would use that as a starting point, and then just see how you feel as you lose. How you look and feel is more important than a number.

      2. Clueless_girl

        I did find different calculators but I couldn't find any that accounted for body frame. But you're right, it is just a number. It was just disheartening to see that although I lost 60% of my excess weight, it's still not in the "normal/healthy" range..

      Tomorrow marks two weeks since surgery day and while I'm feeling remarkably well and going about just about every normal activity, I did wind up with a surface abscess on on of my incision sights and was put on an antibiotic that made me so impacted that it took me more than two hours to eliminate yesterday and scared the hell out of me. Now there's Miralax in all my beverages that aren't Smooth Move tea. I cannot experience that again. I shouldn't have to take Ativan to go to the lady's. I really looking forward to my body getting with the program again. 
      I'm in day three of the "puree" stage of eating and despite the strange textures, all of the savory flavors seem decadent. 
      I timed this surgery so that I'd be recovering during my spring break. That was a good plan. Today is a state holiday and the final day of break. I feel really strong to return to school tomorrow.

      Now that I'm in maintenance mode, I'm getting a into a routine for my meals. Every day, I start out with 8-16 ounces of water, and then a proffee, which I have come to look forward to even the night before. My proffees are simply a black coffee with a protein powder added. There are three products that I cycle through: Premier Vanilla, Orgain Vanilla, and Dymatize Vanilla.
      For second breakfast on workdays, I will have a low-fat yogurt with two tablespoons of PBFit and two teaspoons of no sugar added dried cherries. I will have ingested 35-45 grams of protein at this point between the two breakfasts, with 250-285 calories, and about 20 carbs.
      For second breakfast on non-workdays, I will prepare two servings of plain, instant oatmeal with a tablespoon of an olive oil-based spread. This means I will have had 34 grams of protein, 365 calories, and 38 carbs. Non-workdays are when I am being very active with training sessions, so I allow myself more carbohydrate fuel.
      Snacks on any day are always mixed nuts, even when I am travelling. I will have 0.2 cups of a blend that I make myself. It consists of dry roasted peanuts, cashews, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, pistachios, and Brazil nuts. This is 5 grams of protein, 163 calories, and 7 carbs.
      Breakfast and snacks have been the easiest to nail down. Lunch and dinner have more variables, and I prepare enough for leftovers. I concentrate on protein first, and then add vegetables. Typically tempeh, tofu, or Field Roast products with roasted or sautéed vegetables. Today, I will be eating leftovers from last night. Two ounces of tempeh with four ounces of roasted vegetables that consist of red and yellow sweet peppers, sweet potatoes, small purple potatoes, zucchini, and carrots. I will add a tablespoon of olive oil-based spread, break up 3 walnuts to sprinkle of top, and garnish with two tablespoons of grated Parmesan cheese. This particular meal will be 19 grams of protein, 377 calories, and 28 grams of carbs. Bear in mind that I do eat more carbs when I am not working, and I focus on ingesting healthy carbs instead of breads/crackers/chips/crisps.
      It's a helluva journey and I'm thankful to be on it!
