Recommendations: protein supplement , etc

[KLM1959 0]

Hey everyone, I am scheduled for bypass August 24th. Just wondering what you guys found was the best Protein supplements and drinks out there. Also my dietition recommended whole milk or 2% not fat free. Does that go for the yogurt too? Also they aren't having me do the liquid pre-op diet to shrink my liver and with liver disease/NASH I am puzzled why not since it is enlarged. Taking my gall bladder since I have stones and repairing my hiatal hernia.

Thanks for any advice!

I know that when I had surgery they wanted me to drink 2% milk, because of the lactic acid in it. I have NASH too, and I had a 10 day pre-op liquid diet. All surgeons are different. You weigh over 100 lbs less than I did, when I had surgery, that might be the reason.

I'm looking for a good unflavored Protein powder for myself right now. So I'm interested in hearing what others suggest. I am so picky now with tastes and textures of everything. Things I used to LOVE, I hate now, and I'm still trying to wrap my mind around it. lol

Good luck with everything, and welcome!

I prefer the premiere shakes. They are by far done of the best tasting. The have like 30g of Protein per shake.

Premier is my favorite, except the chocolate which I literally can't choke down. The Unjury was okay, but premier is better. I have some unflavored Protein Powder from GENEPRO that's highly recommended here, haven't tried that yet.

I like this one for the unflavored Protein powder.< /p>
