Hi everyone. So my Bypass is scheduled for Wed 7/20 and I’m trying to get everything prepared. Which Protein Shakes is everyone drinking after surgery? I ordered the sample packet of powders? utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury, but I have to wait until surgery to order more. I know my taste buds will change and I cannot afford to waste any loot on something I may not like.

Any advice or suggestions for the hospital visit? I also wanted to know what did people buy for their first week post-op?

I drank Premier Protein before surgery and I still drink it nearly every day 11 months post surgery. I find the strawberries and cream flavor to be super gross, but the chocolate, vanilla, caramel, and bananas and cream are all really delicious. I sometimes cut them with milk if I want something of a thinner consistency, and it still tastes great.

As for the hospital stay, I would recommend comfy clothing, chapstick, and wipies.

The first week post op, you may be in a bit of pain/discomfort and might find it easier to sleep in a recliner rather than getting up and down from your bed. I couldn't lay flat for the first several days without a lot of pain, but some other people can deal with it no problem. So just be aware that you may want to do that. :)

Hope this helps! Good luck to you, and see you on the other side. :)

Where did you find the caramel and bananas and cream premier drinks at? I'm scheduled for Aug 5, 2016 trying to get all my stuff together. I've already drink the chocolate.

So i go to my local GNC and they have a return policy, you can try a Protein supplement and if you dont like it you can return for full refund. That is what i have been doing myself :)

I'm jealous! My Sam's had the regular three flavors on sale, but we haven't had the new ones there yet!

      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.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
