I am 7 weeks out of RNY surgery. Have been sticking to plan, with the exception of a few days where I did not meet the minimum Protein and/or liquid requirements. Yesterday was such a day. For the first time since surgery I was hosting a family BBQ. I was so wrapped up in preparation that I did not take in any protein and not much liquid (>24 oz) until evening. I ate about ½ a hamburger (only burger nothing else) and, against my better judgement, about 4 bites of apple pie. Still no liquid.

I should have known better. This was the second time I have tried hamburger since surgery and had the same result – vomiting within 30 minutes of eating. Fortunately this could be done discretely and my guests were unaware. I’m sure that the sweetness of the pie was a large contributor to the event.

The protein thing has been tough lately. Can’t eat much and most Protein drinks and bars are just TOO sweet. I always preferred savory to sweet pre-op and that hasn’t changed post-op.

I woke up this morning committed to drink enough and get the protein in, regardless of the sweetness! I was pleasantly surprised to receive a shipment (earlier than expected) of some new choices of Protein Bars and ingredients for some high protein recipes. Oh Happy Day!!!

Approaching this brand new day with a very positive attitude!

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
