Help with protein shakes



Recommended Posts

Ok so I'm 1 week post op and my body is acting a little strange towards Protein Shakes. I have tried the ones I used on my pre op diet and they make me gag. I have purchased some new ones and I'm having the same feeling. I move to the soft food phase in 3 days but does anyone have any suggestions on how to get down these Protein shakes. I'm know I'm not getting my recommended amount but I don't know what else to try

I had the same problem...hated all my shakes post op. The best thing to do is to go to a nutritional store like the Vitamin Shoppe or GNC and buy a couple individual bottles of some different brands and try them and see what you liked

I also liked mine better when I added somethings to them. vanilla shake with some ice cubes and Decaf instant coffee is almost like a frappuccino....or a shake with some frozen fruit

When preparing for surgery I stocked up with hundreds of dollars of a variety of high quality organic and grass fed whey and Protein powders. I hated them all. A friend turned me onto doctor axe collagen powder and I have been using it for the last five months to get enough protein. Collagen powder is also known to be very good for skin hair and nails! This particular collagen powder is high-quality, and it dissolves completely and tastelessly into anything. I drink it in my coffee. It is a priceless nutritional support for me. And recent bloodwork indicates that I am getting plenty of protein just by doing this!

Does anyone know if heating the Premier shakes will destroy the nutritional value

Like others I am sick of them and need a new twist

      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?
