OK- so I have awhile until I will be "BANDED" but, I was wondering what everyones favorite form of protein/shakes/powders were? I have no clue about stuff like this, and I figure I should start searching around soon.

Thanks :)

I have my surgery tomorrow. I bought the Protein Powder from my doctor's office. It's pretty good. I also got the Adkins pre-made drinks, milk chocolate flavor. Those are pretty good too.

I am also looking for suggestions of non-flavored varieties. I have seen that people add the non-flavored powder to Soups and sauces to up the Protein power.

I really like GNC Pro Performance whey Protein powders currently Cookies & cream is my favorite sometimes mixed eith PB2. I make shakes, Protein ice cream & starting today 5 minute protein mug cakes(yum! and its my birthday). The best part is if you buy a powder from GNC (or anything else for that matter) and dislike or can't tolerate it that take it back with a full refund within 30 days of purchase no questions asked.

Good luck!

I found Bob's Red Mill unflavored protein @ my local grocer and it worked out really well :)

I tried those 42g Protein test tube things and they were so gross. I'm constantly looking for good sources of protein. Thanks mxkitty for the suggestion and info about GNC I didn't know that

      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.
