I agree the Bariatric Advantage gave me terrible gas and diarrhea and the Unjury I thought were gross and too sweet. It took me a long time to find the right fit!

Hi, so which shakes did you finally settle on? I thought Unjury products were well liked.

Syntrex makes a great Peanut Butter cookie shake and a strawberry one. They also have one I mix with Water - fuzzy navel. Otherwise I get Body fortress shakes - they have some great flavors as well. For packaged ones - Premier Protein are good - I get mine from costco.

I use the Syntrax matrix Peanut Butter cookie not too sweet and not too thick, I mix it with milkfor the extra Protein and calories since I do not eat much at "meals". I had a really hard time in the beginning and was only able to start shakes after one month post surgery. I also like the Atkins pre made shakes for when Im on the go. $5 something for 4 at Walmart not too sweet and none of that artificial sweetner taste I can't tolerate since my surgery!

I actually said the same thing to him. And even went as far as to refuse to purchase the 60$ Protein Powder he wanted me to buy. I know that he gets a pay out for pushing product. I bought the minimal before post op and i bought only what I wanted after. And now I am not even using his products nor will i be purchasing anymore. A friend of mine had the sleeve done at a different place and they didn't make her buy anything. And the messed up thing about it all is that they make you feel like if you don't buy what they say you need then they will cancel your surgery. Live and Learn, I wish I would have explored more doctors. But I was just so excited to get it done I wont say it was a bad experience just one that seemed a little shady in some areas. So far with my after care they have been great but we will see if that changes at my two week check up Thursday.

Is it just me or does anyone else think it's a conflict of interest for a dr to be selling supplements and insisting you purchase them? Not cool.

      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.
