this is kind of an interesting topic here. Every one has different brands they like, some love them some hate them. Many people find that a protien they like pre op they can't stand post op. I would recommend trying to get some individual bottles of a couple different brands and seeing what you like the best

To know how long the powder will last, you need to know what your surgeon or nutritionist recommends on grams per day. Mine had some sort of calculation based on height and weight (said 71 grams minimum per day).

Then you'll need to know how many grams of Protein is in a 'serving' for the product.

i have tried this company www.rawdynamix.com/ and get the cold filtered whey . Super fast shipping and about $10 cheaper than Unjury.< a href="http://www.unjury.com/" rel="external nofollow">http://www.unjury.com/ I put 1.5 scoops unflavored in my morning coffee.< /p>

Go to the search box and type in Protein powders. There are a million different brands. There are powders, RTD and clear drinks. It's honestly a matter of taste. What one person likes another will hate. Check out the online stores, the health food stores, Whole Foods and drugs stores. Have a taste testing and find out what you like.

My first choice is Syntrax Nectar flavors. I mix 1 full scoop with a spoon, no blender & it mixes perfect. Check out all the flavors available on VitaminShoppe.com

1 full scoop has 23 grams of Protein, zero sugar & zero carbs.

I found that I do like unjury, but it is expensive! I tried one RTD brand, EAS Advantage and that was okay - not my favorite. Also, I hear Premier is good and you can buy at Wal-Mart and costco. I have yet to try that brand as they are always out when I go.

But, yeah, to echo everyone else, it is trial and error and totally preference.

My doctor gave me two choices, powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or Bariatric Advantage for my 2 week pre-op. I ordered the sample pack from Unjury, it comes with 2 servings of each flavor, a thermometer and a mixing bottle.

Good luck :)

I use Premier Protein. I have the chocolate liquid shakes and then the vanilla Protein Powder. The chocolate shakes taste like chocolate milk and the vanilla can be mixed in with everything. Both kinds are 30 grams of Protein. My doctor recommended it because it pretty much has the highest amount of protein out of all of them. My dad had the sleeve surgery 3 years ago and he also recommended Premier for protein too.

I tested a bunch of different kinds and found that the pre-made Pure Protein tasted o.k. to me. I was grateful that after my surgery this week, that they still taste good to me, as I have over 32 12oz cans of it in my fridge. Pure Protein has 35 grams per can and only 4grams of carbs. I have tried three of the different flavors; chocolate, strawberry and banana.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
