Recommended Posts

I am using Protein powder mixed with lactaid ff milk 8 oz. I FORCED myself to have it this morning. took 1.5 hrs to get it all down! I have a good liquid mtv- its cherry flavored and i gagged last night when i took my 2nd dose! I am just becoming so sensitive to all this sweet stuff! It is really makingme gag! And the last thiing I want to do is Puk! Today is Post Op day # 5, Last night again, I had gas pain that would not move down & out! Not until 7:30 this morning! And I did walk around last night trying to help it along its way. Could not finish my last Protein Drink last night, even the chix broth with unflavored pp is horrible! I am going to look for the Protein Shots, at least it will be small amounts. Although i do need the Calcium provided by the milk. Who know's, like I said I am having a talk with my Dr. today at my follow up. Thanks for all the input fellow bandsters.

I am 10 days post op and also am sick of the sweetness of Protein Drinks. I have tried Carnation Istant BF and they are a bit milder in taste. Actually can tolerate them pretty well. I mix powder with 1 cup of FF milk and it totals 15 g. Protein. Put ice in blender and tastes kind of like a milkshake....not too sweet. Hope this helps. CAT

Thanks Cat, I actually went to dr and they told me to try Isopure. i stopped and got some, they are not too bad, "to me" it is a welcomed taste when diluted with Water. Not overwhelmingly sweet at all and no milk base!! I actually have some Carnation IBF, I will try that also. Thanks for the input.

I gotta say I am liking the sound of taking Protein shots. Where can I find "Liquid Protein" Justmermp? This would be a great way to sneak in some Protein on days when I need a little extra.

I picked them up at the Vitamin Shoppe. They come is various brands and flavors.

      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.
