Are you looking for the BariatricPal Store? Go now!

Recommended Posts

My dietitian suggested that I start trying Protein powders and pre-made Protein drinks now so that I know what I like before surgery. Anyone have any suggestions of what they like? I also see people posting about unflavored protein... Where can I get that? Thanks in advance!

I didn't try any before surgery but knew from previous experience that I did not like the pre mixed Protein in aluminum cans. I also knew I needed at least x amount of Protein and below x amount of carbs and calories. And I also knew I was over the same 'ol strawberry, chocolate, and vanilla flavors. So I looked on line to see what I could find and personally feel I struck gold. It is optimum nutrition and they have their own website and also sold online at GNC and other nutrition stores. The best part is their flavors: cupcake batter, salted caramel, key lime, caramel toffee fudge, rocky road, and others. I blend it with ice and take a sip every few minutes. I originally ordered 4 and ordered 4 more today. My 9 and 11 year old even love it.

I like Optimum Nutrition's pb and chocolate

there are pages and pages of people talking about which Protein powders they've tried. It's in the food forum.

I like the Premier Protein. You can get them at costco and the premixed ones are great

      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.
