Almost Two Weeks post-surgery

[AmyLamy 0]

Hello, all! I had surgery almost two weeks ago, and wanted to take a minute to post. I was frightened, but everything went SO well. My surgeon (Ramsey Dalall in Philadelphia, PA) was amazing, and the entire process was streamlined and professional, without being impersonal. I hope you have all had this success with your own surgeries!

So... I have lost 29 pounds to date. I know that's a great weight loss but I am SO eager to lose more. My main problem is drinking the Protein shakes - they absolutely make me gag. Does anyone have suggestions for the best tasting shakes? I have tried the MyoLite and the Atkins RTD shakes. Neither was palatable...

Thanks, and I look forward to hearing some of your opinions and reading your stories!

Congrats on the weight loss. That is amazing. My surgeon recommended a Protein Shake mix that I purchase from him. If your's did not maybe go to a GNC and tell them what you need it for. I am sure others on this site have idea's of over the counter one's you can try. I have an Atkins that i use if I am caught with out my mix. It is not that one though. This one is in a yellow container and I get the chocolate royale and i swear I feel like I am cheating. Most Protein Drinks make me gag, like you say, but this one is pretty good as long as i drink it really cold. I hope you find something that works for you.

My Dietitian sent me over to the GNC that she has been using for 15 years. Family-owned stores and the owners are very aware of our needs. They hooked me up with "GNC Total Lean" for pre-surgery weight loss, and "Ampufy" smoothie (Vanilla Cream) for post-surgery. Due to cost, I have been too cheap to switch over until I'm done with the "GNC Total Lean." I also purchased a "Ninja" from my local Sam's Club to help make the shakes/smoothies. For base I use either skim milk or Greek yogurt. Add 2 scoops of mix, then add fresh fruit of my choice. Usually, it is what's on the day-old rack at the local food store. I almost always throw in a banana as well. After the morning batch, I will throw in some ice cubes to help keep chilled. Also got a couple of free samples of "Unjury" and that blends real well with hot coffee, almost like a latte. At this point, I still blending everything, including the Soups, so I always add the mix as I'm blending. It is a little extra work with the fresh fruit, but worth the time. BTW, is is just me, or do food prices seem to be going through the roof these days. Good luck.

I love powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury vanilla. I usually hate Protein Shakes...but this is smooth and the flavor is good....Others have said they like the Unjury strawberry. Look up unjury on line...You have to order it.

I've only tried a couple of kinds so far, but my favorite chocolate is Optimum Nutrition 100% whey Gold Standard in Double Rich Chocolate. No funky aftertaste, 24g Protein per scoop. I ordered it from Amazon. Good luck finding one you like! I also seem to hear a lot of good things about Unjury but I haven't tried it.
