Protein Pill Supplement??



Recommended Posts

I literally get nauseous when I think of or smell a Protein Shake. I'm 5 days in post-op and have 10 more to go until I can move on the the full liquids phase.

Is there a Protein pill or something that I can drop in a normal drink or Water? I know it sounds crazy but I'd rather drink water all day and know I'm getting the right nutrients than to drink another Protein shake -- yuckkkk.

:) Thanks everyone! Loving August rush and all of your help!

Have you tried any of the fruitier Proteins? I hate the Syntrax Nectars, but Bariatric Eating's Inspire line has a Pom Razz Sangria that is good---IF you mix it with a LOT more Water than recommended (they say 4 oz, I mix it in a liter), and add a sleeve or two of Crystal Light lemonade. Very light and fruity. And they have a summer melon flavor that I've heard lots of people rave about.

They also have PURE unflavored Protein powder that can be mixed in almost anything--and really does "disappear," flavor-wise. It can cause Clear Liquids to become cloudy, but doesn't add the icky Protein flavor or smell.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
