Hello everybody!

I was sleeved on 9-24-14, about a month ago. I wanted to know what you guys thought about this idea of mine. I HATE the taste and smell of Protein powder. It makes me feel sick and I want to vomit. I saw that many greek yogurts are packed with Protein. So, instead of the whey Protein Powder smoothie, I would use 14 oz of the fage greek yogurt (= 40 grams of protein) and mix it with equal and/or berries, cocoa powder, ect and eat/drink this daily instead. I havent been meeting my goals and I can't drink that disgusting stuff anymore. I will ask my nutritionist about it as well, and will update you guys on what she says. In addition, the protein tablets by humapro may work as well. Has anyone tried either of these? Is there any other protein substitutions out there that have worked for anyone????

just hang in there I could not do any powder or premixed Protein. once you get to solid food you can try some low sugar Protein Bars which taste a lot better and seem to digest better at least for me they did. when you have no more restrictions with your food ie. solid, soft, pureed you may find it is better for you to get your protein from food with no supplements this is where I am now and I am getting close to my goals each day my NUT says that I am doing fine with my protein and everything seems normal so you have a lot of choices good luck :)

      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.
