Hey!

I'm scheduled for surgery (gastric bypass) in February. I've been relying on protein shakes and some ketogenic friendly sweeteners as meal replacements to get use to drinking my calories instead of eating them.

I wanna know if you've tried any of these ingredients post op and how they made you feel:

- Vanilla premier protein

- unsweetened cocoa powder

- Swerve sugar replacement

- blended strawberry, blackberries and blueberries (no added sugar)

-Isopure unflavored powder

-unsweetened almond milk

-black beans (not in smoothies, just in general, mashed)

Thanks! Happy New Year to you all

I did not have any problems with any of those ingredients. I've used everything on that list except Isopure.

I had no problems with those foods, either. I did not try almond milk or Isopure (I did Genepro occasionally for a few months, mixed into refried beans, etc.).

I can eat all of those as well

I haven't tried swerve or almond milk, but I eat a lot of artificial sweeteners and eat whole almonds.

Are you asking for right after surgery? Or for the long term?

I eat a LOT of refried beans, both black beans and kidney beans. Right when I got off of liquids, these were the easiest for me to eat. I had some yesterday after I threw up the night before and was told to rest my pouch.
