Does anyone use Body Fortress Super Advanced whey Protein Powder? I got it at Walmart. I really like the vanilla in skim milk. Hoping it's just as good after surgery :)

I used it before surgery but can't stand anything milky tasting since surgery. I now use Syntrax nectar strawberry kiwi and unjury chicken Soup

I've been using Gold Standard by Optimum Nutrition. They offer it at GNC although it is a little cheaper through Amazon. I get 5lb containers and its about $53 for 74 servings. I've had chocolate and strawberry so far but they have many many options. Each scoop is 24 grams of pure whey Protein and I mix mine with 12 ounces (normally one scoop per 8 oz, I just like it with 12) of skim milk.

I was told to do instant Breakfast no sugar added after surgery. I add Isopure to it.

Does anyone have a problem with dumping from the sugar in Protein drinks?

Yes I do...I can't keep anything inside me at all. Surgery date was March 5, and so far have not found one Protein Drink that agrees me. Can't eat or drink anything at all. Lost almost 60lbs so far but that is from not eating or drinking. Needless to say I'm totally still in the buyers remorse stage. I don't know what to do to feel better.

I found no carb Isopure works best for people with dumping issues. I just add sf toroni flavors to the vanilla to change it up.

I just bought Isopure zero alpine punch flavor. I must say it is pretty good. Not a fan of milky drinks. This reminds me of crystal light. Not too sweet.

Why do we need these Protein drinks?

Protein is a major building block to repair your body and to survival. After surgery you are unable to eat large amounts of foods and shakes come in handy to help us get our protein. Everyone tries so many different ones because our bodies change after surgery. Like I can no longer drink any milk base items or anything with sugar alcohols in them or I dump. I also take a large amount of Vitamins as we that have had rny must..

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
