Hi my name is Diane and I am 4 days post op. I thought I would feel better than this but oh well. Any suggestions on a good tasting Protein? That seems to be the hardest thing for me. I am just looking for someone to talk to that has been through this.

Thanks

I like Designer whey. I've tried the chocolate and strawberry. They aren't so bad when mixed with milk. I've tried others and they were pretty bad. I've bought all of my Protein through drugstore.com. They have a GNC store within their site, and you can get most items way cheaper than you can purchase them at GNC, you can use a gold card there too if you have one. They send out many promotions for discounts and free shipping.

I'm 10 tens post-op. I swear each day I feel better. So I hope you feel better soon. I have had the GNC Whey no-flavor Protein. It was not terrible. I also have sent away for Unjury protein which I have been told is really good. They sell sample packs so you can see what you think.

The unjury Proteins are really good. I like the chicken broth, the unflavored, chocolate and vanilla. I have been using the Bariatric Essentials - the vanilla is pretty good. I also like the Wonder Slim Mint chocolate.< /p>

I have also tried the New Whey Protein Bullets. Add them to crystal light or some jell-o and you get mega protein!

Bariatriceating.com

Dietdirect.com

Unjury.com

Are some of the sites I have been too. I am able to buy most of my products from the clinics office, nice and easy since I live in the same town.

Hello. I am 3 days post op & i feel great. I just have alot of gas & gas in my left shoulder. My throught is still a little sore from them trying to stick whatever down there for surgery but they say it should get better as days go by. Anyway, I am really enjoying the Unjury nectar Roadside Lemonade & cherry Protein Drink. They have like 30g of Protein. These are more like a juice than a shake. Cause i mix these with Water but with my chocolate, vanilla & Cookies & cream I mix with 1% milk. The Unjury Nectar Protein Drinks taste almost like Kool-Aid:cool: You can go on their site & order sample packs. Thats what i did before i had my surgery & now looks like i will be ordering it by the tub!:thumbup: Check it out, & good luck on your journey!!!!!!:thumbup:

I did not feel great 4 days post op either. I called my dr and they let me add broth to my diet and let me go back on Optifast since there was a variety of flavors vs the optisource. I am now 7 days post op and free really good now. Everyday is a better day. Goodluck.

Hahaha, you're going to have so many suggestions that you won't know where to start! I like the Milk chocolate flavor Muscle Milk Light. There are 5 other flavors too. They sell it at Vitamin World or you can get it cheap online too at Vitacost.com It is 195 calories with 26g of Protein.< /p>

Thank you all so much! I guess i was just feeling a little sorry for my self! I am going to explore all of the Protein options you all have suggested. I am so glad I posted! First time ever that I have posted anything any where! What is the place to go on this website in order to become part of a group that I can post with the same people everyday and maybe make a friend or two that is going thru this. Right now the only person that even knows that I had the band put in is my very fit,slim, husband. He is very supportive but he does not have the issues with food that I do!

Again Thanks,

Diane

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

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

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
