So I am online tonight ordering small containers to use post op for my lunches....small 1- 2 oz containers and I started looking at the Protein powders Target carries because I have free shipping. I checked the stats on the Market Pantry Target brand and it looks pretty good! I compared to Premier Protein powder which is what my nutritionist prefers. Im intrigued because the stats look good and its inexpensive at 17.49

Anyone used this brand?

here are the stats for the vanilla Protein powder....

I've wanted to try it, but I'm nervous buying a big container. I always buy sample packets of powder to see if I like it.

I am halfway through the huge red/white container. I think that is the Target brand you mentioned. This is the first time I've purchased this kind of Protein powder and I only did so because I was already in target and didn't want to drive somewhere else just to buy my Protein Drink. The only aspect about it that I don't care for is that it is not whey Protein isolate. Other than that, it does taste the same as Premier Protein chocolate. The low price is the best factor. However, you can get MuscleTech protein isolate at Wal-Mart for the same price and it tastes the same. I really prefer the protein powders with additional Vitamins and minerals (Isopure, Bariatric fusion, Syntrax Matrix) but the cost is not really worth it since I'm over 14 months post op.

Why couldn't you return it if you don't like it?

I've always been able to return any Target product I didn't like (or just changed my mind) for a full refund. I have their credit card, so I have free shipping all the time, and you can return any Target product even from their website to an actual store any time within the return period. There are very few instances where I've seen you can't return stuff (bought some clearance tennis shoes that were non-returnable, but even then I had them shipped to store and tried them on before officially getting them and they would have refunded my money if I didn't like them).

      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?
