scarletwitch19 302 Posted July 15, 2015 For a tasty Protein Drink I've found I like adding the crystal light flavor packets along with plain whey Protein isolate. I don't like the typical chocolate or vanilla Protein Drinks. This way I can have lemonade, fruit mixes etc and I can mix it up everyday Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jewels711 7 Posted July 15, 2015 That's a great idea w/protein shakes. The typical whey Protein is not going down for me. Not agreeing with me either. Looking for another way to get it in ad that's helpful! Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
scarletwitch19 302 Posted July 15, 2015 I had trouble with the shakes until I tried whey Protein isolate. I use the Now brand, I buy it on Amazon. It dissolves really well, I hate when other Proteins have clumps. Another thing you might want to try I'd the Syntrax nectar Protein powders. Mybariatricpantry.com has a sample pack of a bunch of different flavors for like $20. If you like fruit flavored drinks that brand has alot of options Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

IamKe69 18 Posted July 17, 2015 My highest 299.which I also was made to go on 2 week Diet prior to surgery. My current is 255. I was told I was doing OK. I lost 19 pounds at my 2 week follow up. I had my two week post-op check up Wednesday and I lost 31 so far. That's including my pre-op weight which was 388 and my current weight is 357.... My incisions are healing perfectly and my doctor said that Ian doing great. I still have pain from time to time with one of my incisions which is the larger one that is right above my rib cage.

IamKe69 18 Posted July 18, 2015 I'm here! Had surgery 11/10/14. Down 150lbs! Truly the best decision I have ever made. Are you able to tolerate more food now since you are farther out? I'm not even a month out yet and sometimes I feel like I don't want to eat and drink anything. I force myself to do so. I don't want to end of in the hospital.

I had grilled chicken from KFC and I did pretty well with it. I was a little dehydrated so I had to get me some Pedialyte to drink. It does not have to be chicken try a different type of meat that has a lot of Protein in it. What about yogourt? Peanut Butter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
