Are you looking for a quick fix for your Protein intake or has your Dr suggested these for other nutritional purposes. Like Jersey points out, there is little Protein and it is casein protein, too, which is not the quickest absorption suggested for VSG'ers, unless you take it before bedtime.

whey protein is your best bet for protein suppliments. It takes some time to figure out what tastes and works best for you, but take the time to do it. This is about your health and you are worth it. Don't short yourself by looking for the silver bullet.

Speaking of bullets, avoid the Protein Shots as well. Lots of posts here about them and talk to your NUT about them. They do us VSG'ers no good at all.

Thanks! Just saw them while I was doing some shopping and was curious. I can't take those shakes anymore. They make me throw up :(

But I am finding other things to eat for Protein now that I'm farther out!

      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?
