Hi all...I am just starting my journey to getting gastric bypass surgery. I met with a Registered Dietician yesterday and she discussed the importance of having several protein shakes every day. Here's my problem....I cannot stomach anything sugar-free. I have such a hard time with aspartame, sucralose, stevia, etc. Any unflavored protein powder suggestions?

Hi everyone My surgery date is 4/30!! I'm getting excited and nervous. I start my liver shrinking diet on Monday then liquids only for 48 hours prior to the 30th. I am already missing my coffee!! Best of luck to everyone ❤️

Hi everyone My surgery date is 4/30 so close enough to join the May group 🤣 1. I am excited to start this journey! I do have anxiety as well because I had a procedure done years ago that didn't work well. I had a lap band done back in 2005 with NO SUCCESS. The band was nothing but a problem. It flipped twice and the port moved so all of the saline was removed, and it's just been hanging out with me ever since. 2. For my hospital bag, I plan on wearing the same comfy clothes home that I wore in. I'm bring my crocs, chapstick, a long phone charger, a couple protein shakes because I was told by my surgeon that their options were not the greatest, and a heating pad. 3. I am excited to finally get some of this weight off of me!! I have lost the 60lbs (and gained the same 60lbs) since 5th grade, I swear. My son is 14 and I'm excited to be able to finally ride amusement park rides with him. We got this!!

Bacon and cheese soup?? Tell me more 😂 I might need that in my life!

That's crazy that you had to drink from 10pm to 4am!! My surgery date is 4/30 and I'm already missing coffee 😂

Hi Edward! I'm getting my lap band removed the same day I have gastric bypass. I'm ready to have this bulging port site gone. I didn't have any success with the band unfortunately, but insurance wouldn't just pay for removal. Best of luck!!

Congrats!! week 1 is behind you now Do you have another week of liquids or are you moving on to pureed foods?

My surgery date is 4/30 😊

Does Premier Protein have that "fake sugar" aftertaste?
