my surgeon gave me some Unjury chicken Soup samples. I added it to my chicken soup and it wasn't that bad. I think I will order some

Hmmmm I don't know if I can handle that graininess in my Soup. I tried o add Protein Powder to my soup once and it was gross. And it was suppost to be flavorless. FYI, it's not. Hahah

me too but this isn't grainy at all. It blended just perfect. the trick is not to put it in steaming hot food. so my Soup wasn't hot hot. it really is good.

Head over to Nashua Nutrition's website if you want to try different brands without buying a tub. They sell samples for $1.95 each for lots of brands. Working my way thru the ones I ordered. No clear winner yet...lol. I have found Chike Protein powder & that is my fav so far. Unjury did not agree with me but will try again to be sure. What works one day may not work the next.

Did you do anything different or eat a particular way the last few wks? Im 5wks out...

I started drinking a Protein shake in the morning that is 30g each so I think it's because I am getting in all my Protein cause it's easier to get 30g out of food then it is 60g. Sometimes I will have another shake for dinner if I am not up to cooking. That's all that I really did different I think. How are you doing?

I had a bad experience ... I went through a lot... I had an obstruction, had to get another surgery 4 days apart, then I got pneumonia, then had to have Fluid drained from my lung... I was in hospital 3wks... I've been out 2 wks... really sucked but im doing better... im even still swollen or at least my tummy feels bloated & still real sore... I've lost 21lbs so far... Dr Apr tomorrow .... I know im not getting in enough Protein ... when i tried to drink a shake I threw it up... do you drink pre made shakes or do you make your own?

wow that is crazy. I am so glad you are doing beter. I would of been so scared. What a trooper you are. I hope nothing else bad happens to you. You have dealt with enough :)

I have been drinking the pre-made shakes. I think not having to mix them helps with the mental part of the shakes cause I just hate them. Especially with Water. I am going to try this coffee kind called Click that I heard is good and also nectar brand. I am gonig to email them and see if I can get a sample pack.

      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.
