I have tried many many proteins. I use Inspire Whey Protein Isolate. It is awesome. My favs are Orange Cream and Caffe Bella. It is made by Bariatric Eating.com.

James Marusek, I have been reading your comments, since September, 2016. I copied your articles about surviving WLS. Thank you, they were very well done. I had the bypass RNY on Dec. 27, 2017. I have had no problems. I have not weighed, doctor asked us not till my appointment. My taste has changed. My body seems to be changing daily. Things are going so fast physically and emotionally, I can barely keep up. I struggle with lack of desire to eat and drink, it is gone, as you said it would. The struggle is on...I sip and keep a record, so I know what to work on. I just re-read your articles and caught your suggestion to spike my decaf coffee with Protein. I think you used hot chocolate. Thank you again, for taking the time to write those articles. P's: I just made a batch of your chili, it is quite good. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App That would be 2016 surgery...

Bypass 12/27...so very anxious. I have prepared myself. Yet, still anxious. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Hello LittLeFoot14 , I live in Georgia but while doing research I found a great surgeon who loves to educate all bariatric patients. His name is Dr. Duc Vuong. He is truly proactive. Look him up on YouTube. I would try his practice. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

We needed each other...I could just see myself in your shoes on December 25! Surgery the 27th. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

So encouraging...waiting for December 27. Thanks to you, each one for sharing your profound success! Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

My hat is off to you for hanging in there with such severe reactions. I have not had surgery, but I know from past experience when I make wrong choices, I beat up myself... Without mercy. I get very little done. Please don't do like I do... learn from your past choices. I believe in you. You can turn this around. "OzRoo" gave you some great suggestions. I would call your team for help soon. And look up the site Eggface. I think you will find a lot of useful information. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I know it is such a hit and miss process. I hope I handle my needs as well as you are doing. I still believe like"a happy camper"... You probably need more medications. If it does not stop so, call your team. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App

I haven't had surgery yet, but the nurse in me says you may need your pain meds. If you can't go, are you staying hydrated, my surgery packet said constipation is made worse with dehydration. Lastly you might benefit from a heating pad. I am so sorry you feel badly. Praying and hoping you find relief. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G870A using the BariatricPal App
