Recommended Posts

Jetti,

I am being banded on November 9th, and I am trying to get through the liquid pre-diet. I purchased the Designer whey Natural Flavor at the bequest of my nutritionist. Today I tried it three different times and gagged each time. The smell was awful and the taste was even worst. I am really concerned at this point.

I have tried those little bullets, they do not taste great but they are so concentrated getting a ton of Protein with the least amount of volume. But I know what you mean after reading DBAGuy's post.

I really need to find some Isopure ASAP!

Hi Mollybrown,

I can't stand the taste of the protien either. I went to my local GNC and purchased Isopure in 6 different flavors. I haven't tried it yet but the sales person said it wasn't bad but is better if kept really cold.

Good luck with your pre-op diet!

YIKES Molly now I am really worried about the Protein that I purchased. I dont have to follow a liquid pre diet - woohoo!! - but I will try the protein mix this week so that if it is nasty I can search for a new one. I was really tempted to buy the nectar protein mix because it came in really great flavors that can be added to Water for a nice juice but I am worried about wasting money I dont really have on all of these different powders. oh well I guess i will just have to suck it up and realize its for a good cause - my future!!!!

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
