A little help please



Recommended Posts

Hi all. I'm sure this has been discussed over and over but I can't seem to find the forums. Can you recommend the best flavorless Protein powder please and where to get it. Also, has anyone tried the flavorless bipro brand found in bariatric pal?

Thanks for your input

Hi, I'm waiting to hear the answer to this as well. my surgery is in 40 days, and I'm doing Atkins right now to lose weight before surgery, I'm down almost 20,but my big beef is that the various Protein powders I've been using are pretty darn expensive.

Also, because I have no problem eating the same things over and over, coupled with my anticipated "fear" post op of messing up! I'm sure I'll be The Protein shake Kid for quite a while, I admit I'm nervous, and mainly about a lifetime of poor neurotic eating habits and how these might sabotage me post op. The difference now is that I have the best support team around me in terms of the Bariatric weekly meetings, traditional therapy, a walking and meditation program in place, etc Here's goes the next phase of my life only now I can add another very powerful behavior mod tool to my aforementioned arsenal..

Good lu k to us all!!

I like the Isopure zero Carb unflavored. It doesn't have a milky consistency like some of the unflavored, so I can add it in with my crystal light and it's not disgusting!

I buy the Unjury too and my nutritionist told me to use a half package of sf Jello in it to give it flavor..I thought it was weird but I actually like it.

I have tried many brands and my favorite low calorie/low carb high Protein One is Syntrax Nectar. It has none of the chalky, gloopy, cake batter tasting as some do. It is very smooth and delicious and comes in many flavors. I think you can also get trial packs to get you started and here at BP they sell them.

I like it. Since everyone's tastes are different, especially after surgery, you might want to get some individual packets before you I eat in a big tub. I also like the ProtiDiet creamy chicken and Tomato basil Soups.< /p>

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.
