What Do I Do With All These Protein Shake Mixes?



Recommended Posts

I went on line and got some free samples, and I also bought from Unjury. I have not tried any of them yet due to the fact that everyone is saying your taste buds change. The only ones i've really been drinking are the EAS carb control. I really like those.

Where did you get the free samples from shortypants? I'm the plan ahead type and really, really want to stock up on stuff, but I'm refraining due to everyone's advice.

I agree with topgun! I have 5 jars of Syntrax mix in my cupboard that I drank before my operation but CANNOT stand now. I feel like I've thrown over a $100 down the drain.

Don't buy anything until after surgery....your tastebuds will change.

Ditto from me--I stocked up before surgery only to find that post-op, Sleevie rejected any and all Protein Drinks. NOT a good use of my pre-surgery spending. Maybe get a couple of single-serving packets or something, but try those first before investing, and definitely wait until after surgery--things can change.

Just the other day, I noticed a thread here that talks about samples - some are free, some you have to pay for shipping, some you have to buy - I was just looking at it again since I have to start my pre-op diet in a week. http://www.verticalsleevetalk.com/forum/78-protein-drinkspowders/

I'm now using my Protein Powder as Creamer for my coffee. I'm able to tolerate most of them that way and I get a Protein boost as well. :)

      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?
