I don't usually do Protein shakes, but that is cuz my Dr said not to. He wants me to get my Protein from foods only. But occasionally I will have one.

I'm only 15 days post op and am just starting on some real food, so I am only supposed to do Protein Drinks in order to get my all my Protein in. Pre op, I was a shake-drinking fool. Post op, I'm having a difficult time getting them down. Honestly, I haven't been able to get in two a day. Some days I can't even get one in.

Jay robb whey Protein shakes are awesome! No after taste and not gritty at all. The vanilla if u add 1 tsp of vanilla extract tastes just like ice cream. Especially if u out it in the freezer for 30 min!

That's a nice tip. I use Whey too and I love it. Make it with skim milk: 38 grams of Protein

This is what I drink twice a day. 8oz gives me 44g of protein... It's good and no chalky after taste. Got it at GNC. This is what was recommended to me when I let them know I had surgery. I didn't do Protein Shakes after surgery cause it just felt too thick and I'd gag but since I returned to it 2x a day I been losing like crazy!!

Can't really see picture, can you please tell me the brand? Thanks. I can't eat enough to get all my protein in but haven't found one yet that doesn't make me dump.

      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?
