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

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
