Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

i don't know about other people's tastes but for me I tried to drink the Isopure after surgery and it made me sick... The taste is horrible in my opinion. I like the pre made shakes called Adkins advantage chocolate flavor and the Bariatric Advantage strawberry or chocolate powdered shake mixes best. I sometimes now after two weeks post op, use almond milk in my shakes instead of Water for added Protein and taste. The unsweetened vanilla almond milk is good. I've never loved real milk but i can tolerat this one well

don't get upset, if you have questions call your doctor if you feel that it is necessary, but keep breathing, and you will get there, don't forget your stomach is still swollen, what did you have for surgery? Maybe you should try it without the milk. There are people that have a hard time with dairy, not as many as I thought, but I knew a girl that had the bypass a long time ago, and she couldn't drink any milk or eat ice cream or anything, so it might just be that? But like i said if it still happens with the Water try the Isopure? it is a little expensive but if its all you can get down then I would suggest it to get your Protein in as it has a lot of protein in it!!!

Iambeautiful, thanks for the info, I wasn't sure about those isopures? They are kind of expensive from what I hear too. I was thinking of trying that almond milk with my shakes I just keep forgetting to grab some when I go to the store? I will have to do that soon. I am having my surgery this wednesday and I am so excited!!! Well Thanks again!!!

      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.
