Ok. I did try some Protein drinks from the supermarket and they were actually really good. They are by Bolthouse Farms. I'll try to attach a pic. So yummy I'm surprised! The chocolate one is really good. Haven't tried the coffee one yet. They all have 2 servings/ 30gm Protein per bottle. I'm not great at label reading but I'm sure they are better than eating a typical bacon and egg Breakfast. I pray I still love them after surgery. I found them in the juice section by the produce at Stater Bros

I bought some Naked juice Protein Drinks too from that section too. I bought all of the flavors of the Isopure from GNC and I have not tried them all yet, but none of them have really appealed to me. They have a kind of aftertaste that makes me open and close my mouth after a swallow (I don't know how else to describe what it makes me do other than that- like when you taste something funny). :huh: But they definitely are more tolerable than the milky ones I've had- EAS, Core power... bleh

I heard the grape Isopure was good. Some people on here mix them with crystal light

I put Crystal light with them and it kinda takes the Protein after taste away. That's the only way I can drink them.

So hate to burst your happy Protein bubble but these may have more sugar and carbs Ryan you may be allowed as part of the post-op. different surgeons provide different guidelines but mine are to do 600-800 calories, 80gms protein, and. 40-50 gms carbs with no sugar. That would be hard with the bolthouse ones. Might want to check w your surgeon.

You're right. I will have to see what my nut says post op. I do still have all of my other things to try from unjury and Syntrax. So funny "my happy protein bubble" :)

Premier Protein tastes good . I don't taste the Protein at all and no aftertaste. I've had the chocolate and the vanilla. Both are good, but I like the chocolate a little more, but the vanilla seems a little thinner if you like the thinner consistency. 3 more days until surgery. I really can't believe it!

Thank you grateful_1. I wonder what the label says for sugars and carbs and all that fun stuff I have to get used to checking. Never have been that person but now I will be monitoring that!

Wishing you good luck in 3 days!

I know how stressful it was to wait, but good things come to those who wait! My advice is get everything around your house like you want it! I did a spring cleaning on mine and organized everything for the ppl helping me while i was down an so glad I did my OCD about drove me crazy!! And I was also one of the rare cases that had complications and had to stay in the hospital for a week. Stick to buying samples your taste buds could change mine did.

      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.
