Recommended Posts

I hate all of the Protein drinks that I have tried so far.... any chance you guys know of a way to get your Protein without drinking a chalky drink? is there any drinks that arent chalky? any other alternative? doc wants me to have 120g protein per day pre-op. Seems like a lot. anything out there that is mega concentrated? so you dont have the chalkyness?

September 22 op date!!!! :blushing:

The Isopure Zero Carb drinks are pretty good. They have 40g of Protein in 20 ounces. They have fruity flavors, sort of like Sobee Lean and those types of drinks. Usually they're at places like Vitamin Shoppe and GNC. They go down easy. I like to use them when I have to go all-liquid because they're ready to drink with mixing.

There's also nectar Protein powder. They have a thinner consistency than many of the Protein Drinks and taste pretty good. I used to mix some instant espresso in with the chocolate truffle flavor for a latte-like drink. I've also had the tropical flavor, which is sort of like a thin pina colada.

The Protein Shots aren't too bad, except they're not a complete Protein, I've been told, and sometimes they give me diarrhea. Actually, the brand I got at Vitamin Shoppe were fine, but the costco ones didn't agree with me. They're quite handy, if your body can tolerate them. I used to drink them straight. You can mix them with Crystal Lite or iced tea if you don't like the thick texture.

Good luck!

I found nectar to be disgusting. The Roadside Lemonade at least. I have tried many and finally settled on slim fast high Protein powder. Not as much Protein as some but it is approved for the pre-op diet I am on. It is much better than the others. It has 15 grams when milk is added. I have Isopure in the fridge but have not tried it yet. alot of people think it taste likes weak gatorade.

I bought nectar, Fuzzy Navel flavor and its not too bad. 23g Protein per scoop mixed with 8 or 16oz Water. At least its not the sickeningly sweet flavor of Slimfast shakes which ive been on for the past 17 days lol

Try nectar Brand. It is a powder and comes in all kinds of flavors, some you mix with milk but most with Water. There is strawberry kiwi, fuzzy navel, capuccino, and a bunch of others that are fruity in nature. Vitamin Shoppe has it, plus other brands that may meet your protein needs without getting a milk based drink.

      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!!

      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... :(
