28 days away from surgery



Recommended Posts

I would get samples of different Protein powders. I know that some of the bariatric supply stores on line will send you samples--some free and some charging shipping and handling.

I know that GNC has sample size portions of their Quest Protein powders for about two dollars a pouch---the brand I use .

There are sooo many to choose from. Keep in mind, though that your tastes may change after WLS. What you like pre-op you may not like post-op. I would suggest not stocking up to too many of one brand.

Your bariatric team should recommend what Vitamins you need to take. I am five years out, so I use Vitamins from CVS. Check with you surgeon's office for recommendations.

Best of luck on your WLS journey. I hope it will be a joyous one. :)

I'm not a Walmart personal all but I know they carry alot of pre and post op products. After getting my chest xray at Elite I decided to go into the Walmart next door. I emerged 2 hours later and $200 short. I read every label. I stocked up on many Protein powders, ready-to drink Proteins, even singles to see which ones I like; powdered crystal light and snapples, I stocked up on broths, sugar free syrups for flavor, Protein clear drinks, Vitamin drinks. I found it easier to shop there then say Vitamin Shoppe or GNC where it can be overwhelming and sales clerk single you out.

I agree: Premier Protein shakes give more grams of Protein per shake than any other brand. 30. Flavors: chocolate, vanilla, strawberries and cream, and my new favorite : bananas and cream. Cases were on sale at Sam's these last several weeks. Vitamins; I use optisource Bariatric chewables, 4/day, 2 in am, 2 in pm. One bottle of 120 lasts a month. Have it set up thru Amazon to automatically send me a bottle once a month. $18.18 each. I don't need any supplements at all with this brand. They are complete.

Imo unjury tastes the best, and the unflavored can be sprinkled on almost anything, but I got a couple of cases of premixed Premier Protein. It's just so convenient not to have to shake up something when you pretty much feel like crap.
